A Palm Coast father allegedly pointed a gun at his son following an argument, according to a charging affidavit released by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

On Monday, Dec. 17, Larry Calloway, 68, asked his son to get a chore done at their residence on Pickwood Lane. The son said that “he was a grown man and will get it done when he wants,” according to the affidavit. Both men continued to yell at one another, when Calloway said “he had enough” and went into his bedroom to retrieve a black Beretta .40-caliber handgun.

The son told deputies that Calloway pointed the firearm at him and said “you will do it now or get out of my house.”

The son said that this same thing happened a few years ago, too.

At no point did the argument become physical, and nobody needed medical attention.

Calloway confirmed his son’s story to deputies and added that “he will defend his house and protect his wife.” Calloway said he moved to Palm Coast over a 1 1/2 years ago and his son has been staying with him. He said that his son didn’t contribute in anyway and that he wanted him out of the house.

Calloway was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and taken to the Flagler County Jail without incident.
