INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — A Vero Beach man apparently is serious about barbecue.
Maybe even deadly serious.
A 39-year-old woman told Indian River County sheriff’s investigators Feb. 21 she was at a friend’s home in the 4400 block of 33rd Avenue for a barbecue, a sheriff’s report states.
She joked about burning the food, and a man got upset and argued with her and her boyfriend.
“During the argument (the man) pulled a black revolver out of his pocket and told both subjects ‘I’ll kill both of y’all,’” the report states.
The woman’s boyfriend gave a similar account.
The woman identified the alleged burned barbecue gun wielder — a 30-year-old Vero Beach resident — through a Facebook profile.
That man, however, declined to speak with investigators. He did have a loaded revolver, as opposed to a loaded baked potato, on him, deputies said.
The man’s brother said that after the “burning the food” comment, his brother grew angry.
“(The sibling) stated that he told (the alleged firearm wielder) to put his gun inside because he does not need it on him in this situation,” the report states.
Indeed, sullying even the best barbecue by burning doesn’t warrant deadly force.
The man was jailed on two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
