TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - A Tallahassee man was arrested for armed robbery after one woman accused him of taking her cellphone and a second victim who fled from him in a car chase said he threatened to kill her.
Damion Dejuan Harley, 36, faces charges that include robbery with a firearm, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, possession of a weapon by a convicted Florida felon and written threats to injure/kill.
On Dec. 31, 2017, a Tallahassee Police Department officer responded to a call from a woman who said Harley had pulled a .22 caliber revolver from his pants pocket during an argument and pointed it at her.
Harley told the victim "he was going to kill her and said he was going to torture her, all while keeping the firearm pointed at her," a TPD investigator wrote in a probable cause document. Then Harley got a shotgun from the closet and pointed it at her.
The woman said she ran into a rear bedroom, pushed a bed against the door, climbed out of the back window, ran to a neighbor's house and called the police.
Harley left with the victim's cellphone, the shotgun and the revolver, the court document said. He drove away in her car, which she had frequently let him drive.
Inside the house, the TPD officer found an empty cardboard box that was packaging for a shotgun.
Speaking by phone with an investigator on Jan. 8, 2018, Harley denied both having a firearm and threatening the victim, and he said he and the victim were back together.
Without supporting evidence, the investigator reclassified the case as open/inactive.
On March 3, 2018, another woman called law enforcement and said Harley was chasing her in a vehicle.
A TPD investigator later determined that Harley and the woman had ended their relationship earlier in the day, and Harley had sent her a text message: "I'm going to get u."
The message was sent after the two of them had engaged in a physical altercation and before Harley had started chasing her car with his car.
The second victim's sworn statement said Harley routinely carries a .22 caliber revolver in his pocket and had access to a shotgun she keeps in her closet. But she said she did not believe he removed the shotgun from her apartment.
After battering the victim for an hour, Harvey chased her car with his car for an extended distance, the court document said, using his vehicle to ram her vehicle three times from behind.
Considering the second incident, and the victim's sworn statement, the TPD investigator wrote that it is likely that Harley robbed the first victim of her cellphone after pointing two firearms at her and threatening to kill her.
On Wednesday Harley remained in the Leon County Detention Facility, where he was booked Monday on a $71,000 bond.
