A DeLand mother locked herself and her children in a bedroom as a man forced his way into the home on Thursday evening, according to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office.

In a release, deputies said they responded to the 911 call around 7:30 p.m. after the man — identified as Joshua Mauri — broke into the house.

“Responding deputies were listening to a frantic call on Live911 until Mauri took the victim’s phone, smashed it, and threatened to do the same to her face.” the release reads. “Mauri fled the scene in a black Porsche SUV, nearly hitting the first deputy arriving on scene.”

The deputy began to chase Mauri, but because he could no longer hear the victim on Live911, he instead went back to the house to check on her well-being, the VSO explained.

“She was OK but afraid for her life,” the release continues.

However, Mauri returned to the scene around 1:30 a.m. while deputies were still in the area, investigators explained.

As deputies approached him, he reversed his SUV, ramming into the front of a patrol vehicle before speeding off through the yard, through a fence, and onto State Road 44 into Lake County, the release shows.

He now faces charges of domestic assault, robbery by sudden snatching, deprivation of 911, fleeing, aggravated fleeing, aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, and criminal mischief.

Anyone who sees Mauri is urged to call 911.
