TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) -- The Leon County Sheriff's Office has arrested a woman after deputies say she pulled out a firearm and threatened another person in a Publix parking lot.

On Sunday, deputies were dispatched on a weapons call. Officials located one of the described vehicles, a minivan driven by 36-year-old Jessica Mock.

Deputies followed Mock and conducted a felony stop, detaining her in handcuffs and performing a pat down which resulted in no firearms being found on her person.

Authorities say Mock claimed she was threatened by a woman at the Publix on North Monroe, who said she was going to "shoot her in the head."

Deputies say Mock's handcuffs were removed and when asked if she had any firearms in her vehicle, she complied and stated that she did. Officials say they found a silver .38 revolver in the center console of the vehicle.

LCSO says the victim met with deputies to give her side of the story, stating she approached a checkout line and saw an abandoned cart, belonging to Mock, and decided to go ahead of it.

According to arrest records, when Mock returned to her cart, she and the victim began to argue. Officials say the victim told them she left the line and went to another checkout line, where she and Mock finished around the same time.

Authorities say the victim advised them she returned to her vehicle to load her groceries and, after finishing, returned her cart to a stall when she encountered Mock, who threatened to shoot her and pulled a gun from her waistband.

LCSO also spoke with the victim's children about the incident.

Authorities say they approached Mock again for another statement, and she provided the same story she originally gave to law enforcement about being the one who was threatened.

Deputies also located a handwritten note in Mock's vehicle with the victim's tag number written on it.

Officials say they found probable cause for Mock's arrest and charged her with aggravated assault with deadly weapon without intent to kill. She was taken to the Leon County Detention Facility without incident.
