Accident – Death – Obituary News :
CALHOUN, Fla. (WMBB) – A man in Calhoun County is facing multiple charges after allegedly shooting a firearm towards a Calhoun Sheriff’s Office vehicle on Friday night.
According to reports, the incident occurred around 10 p.m. when two deputies were conducting patrols on Coley Road in Kinard, Florida. This area has been a hotspot for resident complaints, particularly regarding drug dealing activities during the night.
During their patrol, the deputies used a flashlight to observe any suspicious activities, which led to the firing of two gunshots near their vehicle. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Philip Richard Quaglino, a resident of Calhoun County.
When questioned by deputies about the shots fired at their vehicle, Quaglino claimed that he was hunting possums and had fired his rifle in their direction accidentally while aiming for a possum.
Concerned for their safety, the deputies briefly left the area and upon their return, found a white 2020 Chevy 2500 hd blocking a county-maintained road. Upon approaching the vehicle, they discovered multiple firearms including a shotgun and a semi-automatic rifle.
Quaglino initially claimed that he was dealing with unidentified vehicles and drug dealers in the area, but later admitted to consuming alcohol before discharging his firearm.
As a result, Quaglino was promptly arrested and is now facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon on a law enforcement officer, reckless discharge of a firearm while under the influence of alcohol, shooting towards a vehicle, and discharge of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
