On July 23, 2026, officers were dispatched for a reported verbal disturbance involving Blake Donoavan Kelly.

The caller was unsure whether they could be removed safely.
Officers arrived at the residence and observed Kelly through an upstairs front window. According to the probable cause statement, officers saw Kelly pick up an object and throw it. Officers then entered the residence and took Kelly into custody. Officers reported locating a loaded ArmaLite Rifle Pistol (ARP) upstairs in the residence. A Glock 19 was located in the garage.
The victim stated Kelly became upset after Witness 2 commented on his parenting. The victim reported that Kelly had been drinking and became emotional or angry when intoxicated. According to the victim, Kelly was trying to leave the residence but could not find his Glock 19. The victim stated Kelly believed Witness 1 was hiding the Glock from him.
The victim reported that while upstairs in the doorway to her bedroom, Kelly pointed the loaded ARP at her face. The victim showed an officer the distance from her face, which the officer estimated at approximately 12 to 14 inches. The victim stated she was afraid Kelly was going to kill her. She reported telling Kelly he would go to prison if he killed her, after which he put the firearm down on the floor. The victim also stated Kelly told her he was going to shoot her family. She further reported that Kelly prevented her from going downstairs by moving in front of her.
The victim stated that while Kelly was looking for the Glock 19, he broke her television, which she valued at $500. Officers observed the home to be in disarray, including couch cushions lying on the downstairs floor. The victim stated Kelly trashed the house while searching for the Glock.
Witness 1 stated he saw Kelly load the ArmaLite Rifle Pistol, walk outside with it, and rack it. Witness 1 reported that Kelly said he was going to shoot the police and pointed the firearm down the street. Witness 1 also stated he saw Kellyโs Glock 19 and hid it in the garage.

During a post-Miranda interview, Kelly admitted he was โ50% drunkโ when he broke the television while looking for his money and Glock 19. Kelly also admitted he possessed the ARP while โ50% drunkโ and said it was loaded. Kelly told officers the firearm must have still been loaded from a recent range trip. He denied racking the firearm, pointing it at anyone, and walking outside with it.
