Derrius Deon Orr, 23, of Citrus County, has been arrested in connection with a firearm incident that occurred near the Citrus County Fair.
Early Tuesday morning, April 1st, deputies from the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), including a K9 unit, responded to a residence on West Liberty Street in Citrus Hills based on intelligence that Orr was staying there. Orr was wanted in connection with a shooting that occurred shortly after midnight on Friday, March 28th, along Airport Road in Inverness.
After an extended attempt to persuade Orr to exit the residence, he surrendered to deputies without incident.
Orr has been charged with one count of discharging a firearm in public and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He is currently being held at the Citrus County Detention Facility without bond.
Sheriff Vincent expressed gratitude to the community for their assistance in the investigation. “I want to thank the community for their assistance in this investigation,” Sheriff Vincent stated. “After Orr discharged a firearm several times adjacent to the parking lot of the Citrus County Fair, fortunately causing no injuries or property damage, detectives worked diligently to gather witness statements and crucial information to build the case and make this arrest.”
The Sheriff emphasized the community’s safety as a top priority during the investigation. “Throughout this investigation, the safety of our community remained our top priority. I want to express how proud I am of everyone involved for their dedication to obtaining answers and stopping Orr, who has a history of reckless behavior involving firearms, before he seriously injured anyone.”
