OTTER CREEK, FL (352today.com) – Levy County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) arrested a man after executing a search warrant at his home on Thursday morning.
Deputies filed the search warrant for 60-year-old John Cook after allegations that Cook threatened three people who were visiting Otter Creek with a gun last week.
LCSO deputies searched Cook’s home and found evidence of the assault, as well as a firearm that matched the description from the people who say Cook threatened them.
Deputies say that prior to receiving the search warrant, Cook’s arrest was made difficult by a lack of evidence and conflicting statements.
Cook has been booked into the Levy County Detention Center on charges of aggravated assault.
