Cameron Lee Theorgood, 28, was booked Sunday, Jan. 21 into Santa Rosa County Jail after neighbors reported a disturbance involving yelling and gunfire at a home in East Bay Heights. Per police reports, Theorgood pointed a handgun at police, fled back into the home and initially refused to exit before being taken into custody.
Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office deputies around 7:40 p.m. responded to 2058 Government Circle after neighbors reported a disturbance.
Debra Lee Kinney told cops that her son, Cameron, had grabbed her by the wrist and told her not to open doors for anyone.
Neighbor Sarah Lynn Daniels told police she had knocked on Cameron’s bedroom window to ask for her husband’s liquor back and heard shots inside the home. She reported calling Debra and hearing Cameron yelling. Sarah’s mom, Christina Kelly, also reported that she heard yelling and gunfire from inside the home and that Debra sounded scared on the phone and stated Cameron had twisted her arm.
