Patrick James Boor of Lake Worth, Florida was arrested Saturday after he allegedly aimed an assault rifle at his girlfriend following an argument, news sources report. The 19-year-old victim was not hurt, but Boor was still booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on charges of drug possession and aggravated assault with a weapon. A judge ordered he be held on $116,000 bail. It is not yet known whether Boor has obtained an attorney.
According to reports, Boor and the victim were in a relationship and shared a home together for the last three years. The home belongs to Boor and is located on K Street in Lake Worth, sources report. The alleged incident began Saturday evening, when Boor called the victim to ask where she was. During that call, Boor and the victim started to argue, reports say.
The victim arrived home shortly later, greeted Boor, and asked how he was doing. Boor responded by asking why she wanted to know, sources say. The victim moved to her bedroom and Boor followed, pulling out a Norinco SKS assault rifle. The victim moved to the home's main room and Boor followed, telling her, "You need to show me respect. Otherwise I will empty the clip at you." Boor reportedly continued to threaten victim and she left the home; however, as she was leaving, Boor allegedly grabbed her necklace from her neck, causing it to break.
Reports say the victim walked to a nearby Checkers parking lot on South Dixie Highway. Boor allegedly sat the gun down in the home and followed her. The couple's argument continued in the parking lot and someone called police. Deputies arrived and found Boor and the victim in the parking lot. During questioning, police reportedly found a laceration on the victim's right arm. A deputy handcuffed Boor and asked to search his home. Boor consented and allegedly told the deputy, "I just have a little bit of weed in there for personal use."
Officers searched Boor's home and found the rifle, multiple bags of marijuana, Xanax pills, and an unspecified amount of cocaine. An officer noted in his report that, "The size of the [marijuana] bags was not consistent with personal use."
