Jerod Adam Taylor is at large following the investigation into a domestic assault reported in the 20000 block of Goddard Road in Lexington Park, where deputies made a startling discovery.
Investigators say that deputies learned that Taylor was reported to possess multiple firearms, which were found in plain view within the home after he fled the area.
They made note that Taylor is legally prohibited from owning firearms due to prior convictions and is wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant for theft.
On Friday, Nov. 8, detectives executed search warrants at the home and in nearby vehicles, which led to the seizure of "an extensive collection of weapons," including multiple 3D-printed “ghost guns” without serial numbers, semi-automatic rifles, handguns, shotguns, an AK-47 semi-automatic rifle, and an assortment of firearm components.
Deputies also located:
Numerous large-capacity magazines;
- 18 suppressors;
- 74 auto sears (devices that convert semi-automatic firearms to fully automatic);
- Over 1,300 rounds of ammunition;
- Body armor;
- A 3D-printed fully automatic rifle equipped with an auto sear;
- A short-barreled rifle;
- 3D printers;
- Various gun manufacturing tools.
In total, 80 firearms were recovered from the premises.
Taylor has not been located as of Friday night.
The 39-year-old was described as having a fair complexion, brown hair, brown eyes, is approximately 5-foot-10 and weighs an estimated 150 pounds. Anyone who spots him has been advised not to approach, but to call 911 immediately.
