PORT ST. LUCIE — A 52-year-old man accused of pulling a gun Monday on another man who apparently left a dish out was arrested, according to an affidavit released Tuesday.

Ricky Devonne Carraway, of the 2000 block of Southwest Grant Avenue in Port St. Lucie, was arrested on charges including aggravated assault and battery in connection with the 9:30 p.m. Monday incidents.


A man told Port St. Lucie police that he’s renting a room from Carraway and “all of a sudden Ricky started yelling at him for leaving his dish out and got into his face,” the affidavit states.

The man said Carraway entered his room, pushed him against a wall and choked him. He said Carraway left and came back. Carraway, he said, pointed a gun at him and said he was “about to put some holes in you,” the affidavit states.

Carraway said he was upset about the man’s mess and asked him to clean up. He said the man brushed against him so he pushed him off. Carraway said he got his gun and pointed it toward the ground, telling the man to get out.

Police saw redness on the man’s chest and neck area.

Carraway was released Tuesday from the St. Lucie County jail on $3,000 bail, a jail official said.
