A Homosassa, Florida<\/a> man was arrested after posing as a Citrus County deputy and holding a couple at gunpoint during a home invasion.<\/p>\n

The Citrus County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a> said 32-year-old Eric William Johnson was driven to a residence on July 19 by Maynard David Selvog, and when they arrived, Johnson got out of the vehicle while carrying an AR-15 style rifle that turned out to be an “Air-Soft” rifle.<\/p>\n

After exiting the vehicle, Johnson knocked on the door of a camper and allegedly shouted, “Citrus County Sheriff\u2019s Department.”<\/p>\n

He told the victims to exit the camper as he pointed the rifle at them, and believing he was a man of the law,<\/a> they complied.<\/p>\n

Johnson continued to hold the two victims at gunpoint, the sheriff\u2019s office said, and at one point the female victim tried to call 911, though Johnson took the phone away.<\/p>\n

As soon as Johnson became distracted, the male victim ran to a nearby home for help and told police he noticed Selvog sitting in the driver\u2019s seat of an SUV that was located near the road.<\/p>\n

Johnson chased the man to the nearby home then kicked in the door to gain entry to the home.<\/p>\n

The homeowner, the victim and Johnson got into a fight inside the home, police said, and the homeowner was able to disarm Johnson and hit him in the head with the butt of the weapon.<\/p>\n

Selvog and Johnson fled the property, but deputies located Selvog at a nearby residence, who disclosed where Johnson was hiding.<\/p>\n

Johnson, police said, was hiding in a nearby shed and when deputies located him, he was holding a gun to his head.<\/p>\n

After multiple attempts to get Johnson to comply with deputy orders, K-9 Odie was able to apprehend the suspect.<\/p>\n

Police said when Odie grabbed Johnson, he put the gun under the dog\u2019s chin and pulled the trigger, but it malfunctioned. He attempted to shoot the dog a second time, though the gun malfunctioned again.<\/p>\n

Deputies stepped in and apprehended Johnson before transporting him to a nearby hospital where he was treated for injuries.<\/p>\n

Johnson has been charged with home invasion robbery<\/a> while armed, two counts of kidnapping to commit a felony, burglary of a dwelling while armed, aggravated assault on a person older than 65, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, impersonating law enforcement, battery on a police canine and resisting arrest.<\/p>\n

Selvog was also arrested and charged with home-invasion robbery while armed and principal in the first degree. He was held on $50,000 bond.<\/p>\n

Johnson was held on $201,000 bond<\/a> and is being held at the Citrus County Detention Center.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
