Crews had an active warrant and was found hiding inside the residence. While taking Crews into custody deputies saw drug paraphernalia, several AR-15 type rifles, and high capacity magazines. A search warrant was obtained for the residence and the it was later determined one of the rifles had been converted to fully automatic.
