On Sunday afternoon, Deputy Lawrence and Deputy Barry responded to a home on Princeton Road in DeLand after a woman reported her boyfriend locked her outside her own house. Howard Coleman refused to unlock the doors or come out.
As Deputy Lawrence tried to talk to Coleman through a window, Coleman produced two handguns and pointed them at both deputies.
The deputies backed away and took cover.
After about 3 hours, Coleman came out of the house with his hands up and was taken into custody without further incident.
Later, a search of the house revealed two handguns in a pan of cake batter.
Coleman was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and domestic battery after it was learned he had hit his girlfriend in the chest with a cross.
