Interlachen Woman Arrested for Weapons Offenses, Aggravated Assault in Putnam County
Shelby Francis Deal, 27, of Interlachen, Florida, was arrested on February 17, 2025, at 3:17 a.m., by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office on charges of a weapons offense and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Deal faces a weapons-related charge under Florida Statute 790.19, which criminalizes shooting or throwing deadly missiles at dwellings, buildings, or vehicles. This offense is classified as a second-degree felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison, a $10,000 fine, and probation. Additionally, she is charged with aggravated assault with a weapon under Florida Statute 784.021(1)(a), a third-degree felony that carries a potential sentence of up to five years in prison and additional penalties if a firearm or other deadly weapon was used.
Authorities have not yet disclosed the specific circumstances surrounding the incident, including the type of weapon involved or whether anyone was injured. Given the serious nature of the charges, Deal may face enhanced penalties if prosecutors determine the use of a firearm or if the alleged crime involved threats of violence against another person.
Her case will move forward through the Putnam County court system, where potential legal outcomes could include plea negotiations, trial proceedings, or court-mandated intervention programs. Florida has strict sentencing guidelines for violent crimes, and Deal’s criminal history, if any, may influence the severity of her punishment.
