WALTON COUNTY, FL – A man who forced his way into a woman’s home and threatened to shoot her in front of her children is convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, burglary with a firearm, and criminal mischief.

On March 8, 2024, a Walton County jury found Alan Michael Kelly, 30, guilty on charges related to an incident on August 2023, where Kelly forced his way inside his ex-girlfriend’s home and threatened to shoot her in the face with a firearm.

A witness to the incident called 911 and a teen who was visiting the home ran to call for help.

Walton County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team responded but were unable to locate Kelly at that time. A few days later, deputies located Kelly and recovered shotgun shells inside his vehicle.
