A 60-year-old Palm Coast man was arrested May 27 after he allegedly threatened to shoot his neighbor because a car visiting the neighbor's house backed into the man's driveway.
Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the first block of Wood Ash Lane when the 60-year-old man, Terry Vetsch, called about the incident, according to his arrest report.
Vetsch told deputies he saw a Ford Escape backing into his driveway from a security camera, and immediately grabbed his gun and went outside.
Vetsch banged on the car’s window and yelled at the driver: He had mistaken the driver for someone else, he later told deputies.
The driver told deputies that he was visiting with Vetsch’s neighbor and backed into Vetsch's driveway while moving the car.
Vetsch and his neighbor, a woman, began arguing, and when Vetsch started walking back to his property, the neighbor followed him, the report said.
Vetsch then turned around and pointed his gun at the neighbor's head from inches away and threatened to shoot and kill her, the report said.
Vetsch told deputies that he pulled the gun because the neighbor was yelling and waving her hands in his face, the report said.
Vetsch has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
