ORMOND BEACH, Fla. – An Ormond Beach man found himself in hot water on Tuesday after he allegedly threatened to shoot three landscaping workers outside of his home, according to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office.
The incident took place at a residence along Brooks Drive in Ormond Beach, where deputies were called to the scene just before 10 a.m. following reports of a man waving a firearm at the workers, who had been working near his property.

Upon their arrival, deputies spoke with the three victims, who were standing by their landscaping truck when the altercation occurred. According to witness statements, the man involved, identified as Charles Calhoun, 66, emerged from his nearby home and began shouting obscenities at the workers.
An arrest affidavit revealed that Calhoun then proceeded to pull out a handgun from his waistband and point it at each of the workers, escalating the situation further.
