A Florida man has been arrested for pointing a gun at a woman’s head after her friend used his driveway

Authorities have arrested a Florida man who pointed a gun at a woman’s head after her friend briefly turned into his driveway. According to jail records, Terry Fitch, 60, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.

The woman was not identified, but the police report named the friend in the car as Jeffrey Hinkson. Police said Hinkson broke into Vettch’s driveway in the Palm Coast, while the woman was knocking on the door of another friend.

According to the police report, Hinkson told officials he pulled into the lane to reposition his car, but when he turned, he heard a bang on his rear window. Hinkson then saw Fitch yell at the woman.

The woman told police that she first heard Fitch yell at her friend and approached Fitch to apologize. As she was approaching from across the street, Fitch allegedly pointed his gun, which he was pounding against the car window, at her head, threatening to shoot and kill her. The woman told police she was in immediate fear for her life, according to the police report, and said the gun was aimed two inches from her head.

When questioned by police, Fitch said he saw the car pull into the driveway from inside his house and “immediately … picked up his gun” and got out. He said he believed the driver was a neighbor with whom he had a fight in the past. Fitch told police he ran off his property and yelled at the driver not to use his driveway, and he said the woman walked up to him and started screaming. Fitch also said the woman was following him, yelling at him, and waving her hand in his face. Fitch told police that he did not draw the gun until he was back on his property.

Police reviewed video and audio recordings of the incident, which, according to the police report, show Fitch immediately approaching the vehicle. Police said the video also showed the woman approached Fitch’s property line, but did not cross it or trespass.

Fitch was taken into custody and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, according to prison records. He remains in custody on a $50,000 bond.

“Not controlling your anger doesn’t work most of the time. In this case, someone landed at the Green Roof Inn,” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staley said in a statement announcing Fitch’s arrest.

Fitch is scheduled to go to trial on July 10.

A similar situation ended in a fatal shooting earlier this year. In April, he will be 20 years old The woman rushed into the wrong lane in Hepburn, New York while searching for a friend’s home. Kailyn Gillis was with three other friends, who according to the police were missing and only turned up in the driveway for a short amount of time, when homeowner Kevin Monahan walked off his porch and fired twice. Gillis is shot and killed.
