GRACEVILLE — Four people have been arrested after an investigation of drug and firearms possession by a felon, according to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office.
Daniel Carroll, 34, and his wife, 32-year-old Devona Seale, both of Graceville, were arrested without incident Friday after a two-hour negotiation at another couple’s home where Carroll and Seale had holed up in a bedroom.
At one point, Carroll said he would either shoot himself or force deputies to shoot him, a Sheriff’s Office news release said. He and Seale eventually surrendered.
Carroll was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, possession of a controlled substance and violation of state probation, along with existing arrest warrants.
Seale was charged with possession of a controlled substance and resisting an officer.
Carroll and Seale were at the home of Steven Wilson, 50, and Penney Wilson, 44, in Graceville, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
While in their home negotiating with Carroll, deputies saw marijuana plants growing on the back porch, the Sheriff’s Office reported. After Carroll and Seale were arrested, deputies searched the house and recovered 29 marijuana plants, about a half-gram of methamphetamine, suspected meth oil, drug paraphernalia and five firearms.
The Wilsons were charged with possession of marijuana, cultivation of marijuana and possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
