Deputies said the incident occurred on Friday night at 2725 Orange Road near DeLand.

In their investigation, sheriff's detectives spoke to Dalton Clayton of Sanford on Saturday morning, and he told deputies that on Friday night while staying at Jacobs home, an argument started between Jacobs and his 25-year-old girlfriend.

In that disturbance, Jacobs grabbed an AR-15 rifle and held Clayton and the woman at gunpoint, saying it was a hostage situation and that someone was going to die, a report states.

The woman told detectives that Jacobs punched her in the nose during the argument, causing her to bleed profusely in the driveway. Jacobs also got the AR-15 and told the woman and Clayton to sit on the couch. Jacobs then put the barrel of the assault rifle in the woman's mouth, according to the report.

An angry Jacobs yelled that he was "going to kill them," removed the gun barrel from his girlfriend's mouth and then fired two shots, reports detail.

The woman then fled the home, investigators said.
