A Democratic candidate in Florida is facing multiple felony charges after authorities say he allegedly attacked two elderly individuals inside a Palm Coast residence, with investigators also reviewing threats made during the incident, as reported by The Blaze.
According to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded Friday morning to a 911 call reporting what officials described as “a domestic disturbance with a weapon.”
The call originated from a home in Palm Coast, where the caller alleged that an armed suspect had assaulted two elderly victims inside the residence.
The caller, who was identified as one of the victims, told authorities the suspect “had battered two elderly victims in the home — hitting one with a cane and throwing a cellphone at the other.”
The sheriff’s office also said the suspect “had threatened to kill them multiple times and stated he would kill law enforcement if they were called.”
Officials said the victims were unable to leave the residence because one of them was “bedridden,” forcing both individuals to remain inside a bedroom until deputies arrived.
Law enforcement was able to safely evacuate the victims from the home without further incident.
