A Pensacola woman was arrested after she allegedly forced her husband to sign divorce papers at gunpoint.

Millanie Sherbrook, 45, was arrested Friday and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She was booked into the Escambia County Jail without bond and remained in custody Tuesday.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office was notified around 10 a.m. Friday that a man had locked himself inside a bathroom to escape from his armed wife and she was still trying to open the bathroom door, according to Sherbrook's arrest report.

Deputies arrived at the couple’s home in the 8000 block of Mossy Creek, and Sherbrook was quickly handcuffed and placed in the back of a cruiser, the report stated.

A deputy found her husband locked in a bathroom off of the master bedroom. He exited the bathroom with his hands raised while informing law enforcement about a gun in his pocket, the report stated. A deputy removed a 9 mm Glock 17 handgun from his pocket.

The man explained that when he came home that morning, he told Sherbrook he had changed his mind about how he planned to handle their divorce. He originally planned to sign the divorce papers, but then decided instead to handle the divorce in court.

The man said his wife went into their bedroom, emerged with a silver revolver and walked him at gunpoint back into their kitchen. The man said that he was then "forced to sign the divorce papers under duress," the report stated.

After signing the papers, the man said he went to the bedroom, locked the door and retrieved his gun from the nightstand. He then entered the bathroom attached to the bedroom and locked that door as well, the report stated. He said that Sherbrook then tried to gain entry into the bathroom.

The man said he was in fear for his life because his wife was "a good shooter" and he was not sure if she was going to try to kill him.

According to her arrest report, Sherbrook denied brandishing the firearm or forcing her husband to sign any papers.
