A Palm Coast man was arrested on Regent Lane on Sept. 19 after he pointed a gun at solar company employees working in the area.
Roland Littlefield, 53, told Flagler County Sheriff's Office deputies that he thought the men were "casing his residence," according to a FCSO press release. One of the victims told deputies they left the area after Littlefield approached their vehicle, pointed the gun at him and said, "This is not the spot to hang out."
The victim told deputies he and his coworkers immediately left the area for their own safety. When deputies arrived at Regent Lane, Littlefield and a neighbor were both outside and armed with guns.
Both men were told to drop their weapons and lie down on the ground, where they were placed in handcuffs, the press release said. Littlefield admitted he approached the victim's vehicle and, after they had left, went to a neighbor for "help," who then came outside with his own handgun.
Deputies could smell alcohol on Littlefield, who admitted to having several drinks earlier in the evening, the press release said. The neighbor told deputies he did not see the earlier encounter and believed Littlefield was drunk.
While the neighbor was cleared of doing anything wrong, Littlefield was arrested and has been charged with using a firearm while under the influence of alcohol.
