An incident in La Grange Monday afternoon led to the arrest of a Greene County man on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges.

At approximately 3 p.m. Monday, the Lenoir County Sheriff’s Office was informed of an assault that occurred at 103 Hadley Street in La Grange involving a firearm. The LCSO Criminal Investigations Division, the Street Crimes and Ready Response (SCARR) unit and C-Shift patrol deputies responded to the address to locate the suspect, who was identified as Ryan Everett, 37, of La Grange.

While searching the La Grange area, SCARR detectives located a vehicle occupied by Everett and conducted a vehicle stop. He failed to comply with commands and fled the area on foot.

Additional LCSO personnel responded to the area and Everett was located at a S. Charles Street residence. Based on information obtained during the subsequent investigation, two LCSO canine teams were deployed on Summit Street, at which time a firearm, magazine and ammunition were located.

Everett was charged with:

·      Felony possession of a firearm by a convicted felon

·      Felony possession of a firearm with altered serial number

·      Felony breaking and entering to terrorize

·      Felony extortion

·      Felony obstruction of justice

·      Felony discharging a firearm to incite fear

·      Misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon

·      Misdemeanor discharging a firearm within city limits

·      Misdemeanor resisting a public officer

Everett was placed in the Lenoir County Detention Center under a no-bond hold, due to him being out on pretrial release for previous charges.
