DELAND, Fla. - One man is on the run after a dispute at a high school football game escalated out of control. Jayvion Barthel is still at-large after running from police at Spec Martin Stadium on Friday.

The incident started at a football game at DeLand High School that night, when Barthel got into a physical altercation with another man, Jake Ross. The two had history according to police, and things got bad enough that Barthel brandished a gun from his sweatshirt pocket.

Ross was arrested at the scene for nonviolently resisting arrest, while Barthel took off running. He’s charged with possession of a weapon on school property, possession by a convicted felon, and disorderly conduct.

The DeLand Police Department asks that anyone with information about Barthel’s whereabouts call them immediately. He is considered armed and dangerous.
