Clarksburg resident Jerald McCalla, 25, is facing a host of charges following the investigation into a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT that was reported stolen in May through "fraudulent means" from a dealership in Farmington, Missouri, police said.
Investigators got more than they bargained for when they executed a warrant at McCalla's Montgomery County home.
A search warrant was executed at the Clarksburg house, where the stolen Jeep was recovered from a garage along with additional evidence.
During the same search, multiple unregistered and unsecured guns were also located and seized from the home, where there were children as young as 7 years old inside where the weapons were recovered.
McCalla was arrested at his Clarksburg home and charged with:
- Illegal possession of firearms;
- Illegal possession of ammunition;
- Unlawful firearm access to minors;
- Vehicle theft;
- Reckless endangerment.
He is being held in Montgomery County until he can be extradited back to Missouri to face additional charges, officials said.
