Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies have arrested a man they say illegally entered an R-Section home in May, threatening its residents with an axe. Once deputies determined who he was, finding the suspect was easy: He was already at the county jail on other charges.

The investigation revealed that at about noon on May 25, three people went to a house on Rolls Royce Court, and there was an argument. The three then left. 

The next day, two of them returned to the home and entered without permission thorough an unlocked door.

Once inside, one of them — now identified as 20-year-old Robert Cameron Wilson — brandished an axe as he approached a resident, threatening him and others.

One resident of the home got a firearm and fired two or three rounds outside the front door as Wilson and another subject were outside.

Wilson and the other subject left, and no one was injured. CSI responded to process the scene, and recovered one projectile and two shell casings.

On June 12, an affidavit was forwarded to the State Attorney’s Office on Robert Cameron Wilson for Armed Burglary. The State Attorney's Office approved the warrant and Judge Christopher France signed it on Dec. 17. 

Wilson was already at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility for a charge of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon for a Dec. 9 road rage incident in which he's accused of pointing a realistic-looking BB gun at another driver.

He was arrested again in the jail facility on Dec. 18 on the warrant for Armed Burglary. He remains in jail with no bond allowed. 

Wilson has a prior arrest history in Flagler County for charges including Brawling, Resisting Arrest, Possession of Marijuana, Domestic Battery, and Aggravated Assault. 

“Our deputies, CSI and investigators did a great job building this case,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “Fortunately no one was injured, and hopefully this violent offender will be held in jail for the holidays so he can’t continue committing crimes.”
