A Bunnell man was accused of stealing his roommate’s gun and trying to shoot the man’s dog during a clash Wednesday.

Donald Threadgill, 36, of Tangerine Avenue, was charged with battery, robbery, and aggravated assault in connection with the incident. He remained jailed on $21,500 bail Thursday afternoon.

According to an incident report, Threadgill told officers he was hanging out and smoking meth at a residential swimming pool near his western Flagler County home early Wednesday. Threadgill said he became paranoid that unknown people at the pool were going to attack him, and decided to walk home.

When he got home, he got into a heated confrontation with his 55-year-old roommate, David Burley. Burley told deputies the argument ensued when Threadgill asked to borrow his gun and he refused.

He said Threadgill retrieved the pistol, which was tucked in a couch cushion and the two men began to fight over control of the weapon. After wrestling the handgun away from him, Burley said Threadgill pointed it at his dog and pulled the trigger. The weapon wasn’t loaded and did not fire any rounds.

Burley said he grabbed a golf club and fled the house, and struck Threadgill with the club on his left forearm at some point. When Threadgill was questioned, he told officers it was Burley who chased him out of their residence with the gun. Deputies did not find the weapon, reports indicated.
