A 35-year-old Ormond Beach man was arrested after he threatened to kill family members, a Flagler Sheriff's Office press release said. 

Andrew Williams, 35, of Ormond Beach, was arrested on Nov. 9 by FCSO deputies at a home on Shadow Lane in Ormond Beach. Williams had just spent the last week in jail in Volusia County: He was previously arrested on Nov. 2 in Volusia for disorderly conduct and released on Nov. 3, only to rearrested on Nov. 3 for a criminal mischief charge. 

Williams was then released from the Volusia County jail on Nov. 8 where he walked, barefoot, to the home on Shadow Lane. When FCSO deputies arrived, the couple who lived in the home had been locked outside and Williams was inside destroying their belongings, the press release said.

The couple told deputies that Williams had asked to stay until his roommate could come pick him up, but became "erratic and aggressive" when his ride did not show.

Williams refused to leave the house and the homeowners gave deputies a garage door opener for them to use instead. Once inside, deputies attempted to arrest Williams, who began fighting the deputies, kicking and attempting to spit on them, the press release said. One deputy sustained a cut on his arm in the struggle.

Williams has been charged with trespassing, resisting officers with violence – aggravated assault, obstruction without violence burglary of an occupied dwelling, battery on an officer, threat with death/bodily harm to family member or law enforcement officer and criminal mischief – over $1,000. 

Williams is being held on no bond at the Flagler County jail.
