Deputies with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office arrested a Palm Coast man following a domestic disturbance investigation Sunday night that escalated into a barricade situation and ended with one suspect in custody and FCSO K-9 Titan taking his first bite out of crime. Deputies responded to a home in the R Section of Palm Coast around 10:00 p.m. after the Emergency Communications Center received a 9-1-1 call from a distraught victim reporting that Ilia Javoronkov, 43, of Palm Coast, was hurting them. During the call, the victim pleaded for help, stating “He’s going to kill me” and “Please bring help; he’s hurting me.” As deputies arrived, they could hear yelling from inside the home. When Javoronkov came to the door, deputies observed the victim behind him, appearing fearful and attempting to stay back. Deputies separated the parties by having the victim speak with them outside. Shortly after, Javoronkov shut the door and refused to cooperate. The victim reported that an argument began and Javoronkov threw the victim, causing visible injuries. The victim stated that Javoronkov shoved the victim into a closet and strangled the victim while attempting to access a gun safe. The victim stated feeling “the blood draining from my head” while being strangled. According to the victim, Javoronkov did not have the combination to the gun safe but threatened to kill the victim if he gained access. The victim also reported that Javoronkov left the bedroom and after he returned, the victim held the bedroom door shut. During the struggle over the door, Javoronkov again threatened, “If I get inside, I’m going to kill you.” Javoronkov barricaded himself inside the home and refused to exit. Throughout the incident, he would open the front door and garage door multiple times to yell derogatory remarks at deputies and tell them to get off the property. Master Deputy Jenkins, serving as a crisis negotiator, attempted to communicate with Javoronkov by phone and text message for approximately 2.5 hours. During that time, Javoronkov refused to cooperate and, when advised he was under arrest, stated, “Come and get me.” After extended negotiations, Javoronkov moved to the back of the residence where FCSO K-9 Titan apprehended him and held him while deputies secured him. Javoronkov was transported to a medical facility, where he refused medical treatment and continued to yell threats toward law enforcement and hospital staff. After being medically cleared, he was transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility. Javoronkov was arrested for domestic violence battery by strangulation, obstruction without violence, and false imprisonment. He is being held on a $23,500 bond. “Domestic violence situations can turn deadly in seconds, and when someone makes threats like ‘I’m going to kill you,’ our deputies and K9s are going to treat it as the danger it is,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “We attempted for over 2-hours to de-escalate the situation but when that didn’t work and the opportunity presented itself, K9 Titan took a bite out of crime and got the suspect as he requested.” Javoronkov has a history of grand theft, dealing in stolen property, burglary, battery and disorderly conduct.
