WEAR<\/a>.<\/p>\nAuthorities identified the woman as 84-year-old Charlene Davis. She is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and discharging a firearm on residential property.<\/p>\n
The neighbor told deputies he was mowing his lawn when he heard a gunshot, then looked over and saw Davis holding a revolver.<\/p>\n
Deputies Say She Fired Into The Ground<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to the arrest report cited by WEAR, Davis admitted to firing a Smith & Wesson .38 Special revolver into the ground.<\/p>\n
Deputies wrote that Davis said she wanted to scare the neighbors because of an ongoing noise issue while she was trying to sleep.<\/p>\n
The report said the incident was captured on a Ring doorbell camera. Video showed Davis leaving her home and firing one shot, according to WEAR.<\/p>\n
The Neighbor Asked What She Was Doing<\/p>\n
The arrest report said the neighbor could be heard asking, \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n
Davis allegedly replied that she was trying to tell him he was waking them up, then added, \u201cyou better watch out,\u201d according to WEAR.<\/p>\n
The report did not say anyone was physically injured. Davis was released from the Santa Rosa County Jail on $5,500 bond.<\/p>\n
Lawn Disputes Should Stay Far Away From Weapons<\/p>\n
Lawn noise, grass clippings, late mowing, fences, and property-line tension are common neighborhood problems. They can also become police matters when threats, harassment, trespassing, or weapons are involved.<\/p>\n
A camera may help document what happened, but it does not make a confrontation safer. If a neighbor dispute turns threatening, homeowners are better off getting inside, calling law enforcement, and saving video or written records instead of arguing outside.<\/p>\n
When a disagreement involves a gun, the priority is distance and safety. The mower, the grass, and the noise complaint can wait.<\/p>\n
