A former law enforcement officer who was reported to have shot himself multiple times during a police standoff a month ago had another episode involving a firearm this week, authorities said.

Theodore Melton, 52, of DeLand, was accused Wednesday by his girlfriend of pulling a handgun on her and another person inside a Starbucks on South Woodland Boulevard, according to an incident report.

Melton was not arrested, records show. The case will be reviewed by the State Attorney's Office.

Patricia Reddick, 35, told police she has been in a relationship with Melton for two years. She was suspicious of him cheating on her and discovered him walking into the coffee shop with another woman, police said.

She and another person, whose identity was redacted from the report, confronted Melton inside the business and at one point, he closed his laptop computer, pulled a handgun and laid it on top of the computer, the report stated.

Police said Melton told Reddick, "We all need to leave or I will start shooting."

Reddick and the other person left fearing for their safety and Reddick eventually contacted police, according to the report.

In addition to his relationship with Reddick, Melton is married, police said.

The former DeLand police officer is listed as a principal in three area gun businesses, according to records.

On Oct. 8, he shot himself inside his home after police had surrounded it, authorities said.

Police responded to a 9-1-1 call about Melton threatening to shoot himself. They discovered he was an avid firearms collector and showed up en masse, according to reports.

Melton eventually stumbled out of his home and was taken to Halifax Health Medical Center. He was not charged, but was taken into involuntary custody for a mental evaluation, police said.

In addition to being a former DeLand police officer in the 1990s, Melton also was a sworn deputy with the Volusia County Sheriff's Office from 1994 through 1996 and again briefly in 1997, according to the DeLand Police Department.
