A Deltona man was jailed on allegations he pointed a gun at his ex-girlfriend, threatened to shoot her current boyfriend and promised to turn the gun on himself.

James Burnette, 27, was charged with aggravated assault, false imprisonment and robbery by sudden snatching. He remained held Monday at the Volusia County Branch Jail without bail.

The Volusia County Sheriff's Office was called shortly before 1 p.m. Sunday to the Epic Theater on Hollywood Boulevard where deputies encountered a shaken woman, Kayla Perkins, and her boyfriend, Cameron Cooter in the parking lot, according to an arrest report.

Perkins told deputies she had just left her ex-boyfriend's home on North Union Circle, where he had cornered her in the bedroom, the report stated. Her ex, Burnette, grabbed her phone out of her hand, removed a handgun from a holster, pointed it at Perkins and threatened to shoot Cooter if he came over, deputies said.

Burnette also pointed the weapon at his chest and said he would shoot himself, according to the report. Perkins regained possession of her phone and called Cooter, who overheard Burnette say he would kill him if he came over, deputies said.

During his interview with the Sheriff's Office, Burnette said Perkins told him she wanted to get back together and he only took out his gun because Cooter was "physically in shape" and felt he needed it to protect himself in case he came over, deputies said.
