Holmes Beach police officers arrested Holmes Beach resident Jeffrey Szakacs, 31, Aug. 26 on a third-degree felony charge for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.
Szakacs also was charged with a first-degree misdemeanor for domestic battery.
A Holmes Beach officer responded to reports of domestic battery involving a man with weapons.
The officer arrived at the reported address and waited for backup before contacting a male victim who fled to a neighbor’s house. The victim said Szakacs attacked him when he arrived home, striking him in the face and pushing him backward.
The victim said Szakacs threatened him and another person with firearms kept at the house.
The officers arrested Szakacs and transported him to the Manatee County jail, where he remained in custody as of Sept. 1.
The officers requested and received a temporary court order to prevent contact between Szakacs and his family through Sept. 8.
A violation of the order would result in a second third-degree felony charge against Szakacs, which carries a sentence of up to five years in prison, a $5,000 fine and five years probation.
An arraignment for the felony charge will be at 9 a.m. Friday, Sept. 24, at the Manatee County Judicial Center, 1051 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.
An arraignment for the misdemeanor will be at 9 a.m. Monday, Sept. 27, also at the judicial center.
