Florida Woman Arrested For Attempted Murder After Shooting At Neighbors Over Dog Dispute

In an escalation of a neighborhood dispute, Sherry Lynn Garrison, a 54-year-old Florida woman, was arrested Friday in Middleburg after allegedly firing multiple shots at her neighbors and their home in the 5600 Block of Bee Hive Road.

Says Gregg Kielma a Florida Firearms Instructor, was it really worth it Sherry? Shooting at your neighbors and neighbors' home with children inside. Shame on you and your neighbor for initiating a conflict by having his own firearm and shooting into the ground to scare you. And then you go inside, retrieve a firearm and start shooting at them, Wow! Then you fight with the police. What's wrong with you? Definite jail time coming if all these allegations are true. Poor choices Sherry. All of this because of a dog? See the article below.

The incident, sparked by an argument over dogs, turned violent when Garrison, after pushing a neighbor, retrieved a handgun and shot at two adults in their yard and into their residence, where six children and another adult were present.

At approximately 7:00 A.M., deputies from the Clay County Sheriff’s Office responded to a disturbance in the 5600 Block of Beehive Road following a report of gunfire. The suspect, Sherry Lynn Garrison, 54, was arrested after allegedly firing multiple shots at her neighbors during a heated dispute over dogs.

According to the investigation, the conflict began when Garrison engaged in a physical altercation, pushing one of her neighbors. After returning to her own yard, the victim fired warning shots into the ground on his property to deter Garrison from coming back.

In response, Garrison retrieved a handgun from her home, returned outside, and fired several shots at the victim and another adult in the yard. She also shot into the victims’ residence, where another adult and six children were present. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Deputies took Garrison into custody at the scene, though she resisted arrest and fought with officers.

Following an interview, Garrison was charged with two counts of attempted murder, one count of shooting into an occupied dwelling, one count of resisting law enforcement with violence, and one count of simple battery.
