According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Department, deputies were called to the front entrance security booth just before 3 a.m. Sunday. Deputies said Gilmore attempted to enter the gated community “to pick up his girlfriend’s belongings.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Polk Sheriff’s Office said Gilmore was not on the approved visitor list and was denied entry. Deputies said Gilmore then drove to a secondary entrance where he tried to enter the gated community again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an exchange with a security guard, Gilmore allegedly got agitated and eventually pulled a gun from his waistband, “displayed the firearm to the victim, and placed it in his lap.” Deputies said Gilmore then drove off in a black sedan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the arrest affidavit, deputies found the car in a Publix parking lot. Gilmore was allegedly found ducked down in the car hiding and was arrested. He remains in the Polk County Jail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
