Kelly Teach booked on attempted murder, elder abuse and other charges

On January 4th, 2020 at about 0600 hours, Deputies were dispatched to a report of shots fired in the 29000 block of Highway 36 in Bridgeville.

The 84-year-old victim called 911 stating that his roommate shot at him inside the residence. Deputies arrived on scene and met with the victim. The victim informed responding deputies that after he was shot at, he fled the residence and drove to Highway 36 to call 911. The victim informed deputies the suspect was still armed with a firearm and another unknown type rifle inside the residence.

Deputies then responded to the residence and called the suspect out from the residence. The suspect, later identified as Kelly Teach, exited the residence and was placed under arrest. While placing Teach in the patrol vehicle, Teach became combative and struck a deputy. Teach was placed in the backseat of a patrol vehicle without further incident.

Teach was later booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility for Attempted Murder, Elder Abuse likely to cause GBI/Death, Battery on a Peace Officer and Resisting/Delaying a Peace Officer. Her bail has been set at $500,000.

This incident is still under investigation.
