NAPLES, Fla. — A 64-year-old man who was arrested after firing a gun inside his home during a standoff with deputies faces new charges of resisting an officer with violence.

Monday, a Deputy at Naples Jail Center was escorting Eugene Paul Teter to receive medical treatment when he lunged at the deputy.

According to an incident report, Teter is now charged with one count of battery and one count of resisting an officer with violence.

On July 9, Collier County deputies responded to Wildflower Circle after a caller reported there were gunshots coming from a man's home.

According to the report, Teter repeatedly fired a weapon, despite attempts from Charlotte County deputies and SWAT team members to de-escalate. One round reportedly hit the windshield of the neighbor’s vehicle across the street.

Teter was later apprehended by SWAT and taken to NCH North to receive treatment for injuries.
