A Chase man is charged with a handful of counts following a string of incidents after a staged intervention.

 

It happened on Sunday, Osceola County Sheriff deputies say they were called to the area of 220th Avenue near 10-Mile Road, in Lincoln Township where it’s was reported the suspect, 25-year old Trevor Joesph Smith became combative after a family attempted to have an intervention for drug use.

 

According to police Smith was recklessly discharging an AR-15 at a family members pickup, then continued to discharge the firearm and then fled on a stolen ATV just prior to deputies arrival. Sheriff Ed Willaims says deputies tracked Smith from the home to another residence in Lake County and was taken into custody without incident.

 

Illegal drugs are thought to be a factor in this incident.

 

Smith was arraigned in the 77 th District Court today on charges of Felony Damage to Property Weapons, Firing Reckless Felony, Motor Vehicle Theft and Felonious Assault. 

Smith's bond was set at $75,000 and is currently lodged in the Osceola County Jail
