A Tiller man went to jail after he allegedly pulled a firearm on deputies attempting to serve court papers Sunday morning.
Sergeant Brad O’Dell of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said at around 10:55 a.m. deputies went to a residence in the 2100 block of Devils Knob Road in Tiller to contact 51-year old Daniel Schrack. O’Dell said when deputies arrived, they made contact outside the residence. Schrack reportedly became confrontational and began to retreat into a shop. One deputy gave orders to Schrack oders to stop and then deployed his taser, which did not have any affect, according to O’Dell.
At the same time, another deputy attempted to detain the suspect at which point he lunged toward the shop door, turned and drew a firearm, pointing it at deputies. He did not fire the weapon.
Deputies communicated with Schrack until he surrendered at 12:20 p.m. He was charged with interfering with a police officer, obstructing governmental or judicial administration, menacing, for unlawful use of a weapon, and for pointing a firearm at another. He was initially detained on $75,000 bail.
