GRAND RIDGE -- A Grand Ridge man who called the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office to complain that people were chasing and shooting at him was himself arrested Saturday.
Charged with being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm and armed trespassing was Basel Morris, 43, Blueberry Drive, Grand Ridge.
JCSO reported that Saturday at 10:18 a.m., the agency received a 911 call from a distraught man who said he had been chased across three counties and had been shot at by several people Friday night and again Saturday. The man said the people who were after him were across the road in the woods.
The investigation revealed that the man was possibly under the influence of a substance and was a convicted felon.
The JCSO press release did not say whether the people he claimed were chasing him actually existed.
