Florida Self-Defense: Man trying to burglarize Ocala home held at gunpoint by homeowner :: 04/28/2021

A woman held a man at gunpoint after he tried breaking into her residence, the Marion County Sheriff's Office reported. The man was arrested once deputies arrived.

The homeowner said she was in her residence, located off Southwest Second Place, when she heard a noise by her back door. The woman said she grabbed her handgun and confronted the would-be burglar.

The woman said the man ran and she followed him. She told deputies she fired a warning shot into the ground. The suspect went into a vehicle that was on the victim's property. She called deputies.

When deputies arrived, the man refused to come out; instead, he hid under a rug. Deputies managed to get the man out. He ran and was subdued with a Taser. The man, later identified as Domonique Travion Hargraves, 28, of Tallahassee, was handcuffed by deputies.

Hargraves faces several charges including loitering and prowling, trespass and resisting an officer without violence. 

As of Wednesday, Hargraves remained at the Marion County Jail with bail set at $7,500.
