2 charged with stealing guns

BASCOM -- An adult and juvenile from Marianna have been arrested after allegedly stealing firearms from a home after the resident left for church, according to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responded Sunday to a burglary on Wintergreen Road, where numerous firearms had been stolen. In the course of their investigation, deputies said they learned Joseph Alexander Redmon, 18, and Quashawn Perry, 16, had been at the home to borrow some gasoline, before the resident went to church. After the resident left, Redmon and Perry returned and broke into the home, taking several firearms, authorities said.

Redmon and Perry were apprehended a short time later in Marianna. How many firearms were missing from the home was unclear. Two firearms were initially recovered at the time of their arrests. Both Redmon and Perry were arrested and placed in the county jail.
