An Jackson County man is in the Jackson County Jail, after a raid Thursday night at his Alford home.
Members of the Jackson County Drug Task Force say they've been working this case for four months and found a lot more than just drugs.
15 pounds of Marijuana, 6 grams of Methamphetamine, countless bullets and 35 guns including two fully automatic assault rifles.
Jackson County Drug Task Force members say they found all of this inside the the home of 60-year-old John Leo DeMarco.
"This case started with some controlled buys and developed into a search warrant of his arrest Thursday," says the Jackson Co. Sheriff Louis Roberts.
DeMarco is being charged with the sale of Marijuana, possession of Methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, as well as possession of firearm by a convicted felon and possession of machine guns.
"The thing about these guns two of the guns had the capability of being fully automatic weapons and I'm sure this is something the ATF will address," says the Jackson Co. Sheriff Louis Roberts.
DeMarco wasn't the only person arrested from the Alford home on Thursday.
This woman, 27-year-old Nicholette Katherine Chorak, is charged with possession of Marijuana over 20 grams.
And one of DeMarco's daughter 19-year-old Audrey Marie Sterrett is jailed for possession of Marijuana under 20 grams.
When NewsChannel 7 showed up at the DeMarco home Friday afternoon, one of DeMarco's other daughters pulled the street sign from the ground, in an attempt to keep us from showing where the house is located.
As you can imagine, we were not welcomed onto the DeMarco property.
DeMarco is being held in the Jackson County Jail on $151,000 bond.
A judge ordered both Chorak and Sterrett released on conditional bonds.
