Summons Service Turns into Felony Arrest

Deputies serving a routine court document to a man who lives on Rock Quarry Road Sunday night were met with threats to another man's life, and eventually arrested the man they'd come to see for a number of crimes. Two deputies went to 51-year old Kevin Hubbard's home about 8:45 Sunday night to serve a court summons. He opened the door, deputies say, and during the conversation repeatedly threatened a neighbor, saying he'd shoot the man in the face and kill him. The deputies reminded Hubbard that making such threats is against the law, but were called away to a disturbance before they could talk over things with him further.

About half an hour later, they returned and arrested Hubbard for the misdemeanor crime of communicating threats. During the arrest, they say they smelled marijuana on Hubbard, and he admitted to having a tin of it sitting next to a chair in his living room. As they retrieved that, they saw a 9-millimeter handgun laying in the open, on top of the dryer. Hubbard's earlier felony convictions showed up when the deputies called for a criminal record check, and they confiscated a number of additional guns for the house before arresting him on multiple charges of weapon possession by a convicted felon, which is itself a felony. THey also notified the man who was threatened of what Hubbard had said.
