Domestic Disturbance with Threats and Weapons at Atlas Drive, Charlotte County

Summary: Law enforcement responded to a domestic disturbance at 42554 Atlas Drive, Charlotte County, Florida. The caller, Mandy Holland, reported that a male subject, Patrick Lemma, threatened to destroy the home if she left and was likely to be combative with law enforcement. The male was reportedly talking to himself, had a history of such behavior, and was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The caller advised that there were multiple firearms in the home, including unloaded guns in her bedroom and a loaded burner gun, as well as a taser in the kitchen. The male was aware of the locations of these weapons. The caller, later identified as Norma Jean Jones, locked herself in her bedroom and did not want the male to know she had called for help. Law enforcement coordinated their approach to avoid detection by the male, who may have been monitoring security cameras. Eventually, the caller exited the home unarmed as instructed by law enforcement.
