Deputies heard a female scream from inside the home but found a heavily fortified door; as deputies went to the back of the house, the female ran out screaming, telling the deputies she had been assaulted by a male subject, the report states.

The suspect came out and was arrested, and then deputies entered the home and found a large amount of narcotics in plain view. A search warrant was obtained, and deputies located multiple various narcotics, including methamphetamine, marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, mushrooms and promethazine with codeine, as well as firearms and multiple prescription drugs in unmarked bottles packaged for resale, the report states.

Deputies also located scales, baggies and other packaging materials, and also discovered a hand grenade, which led them to contact the Montgomery County Fire Marshal’s Office Bomb Squad to clear the device. After a short investigation, it was determined to be inert, the report states.

More charges may be filed after a complete investigation.
