ELIZABETHTON â A Carter County man faces several charges after he was accused of confronting deputies with a revolver and an ax on Tuesday.
Sgt. William Staschak said he was dispatched around 7 p.m. to a reported trespassing at a residence on Shalom Drive. When Staschak arrived, he said he spoke with a homeowner, who told him that a neighbor was intoxicated and had been standing in her yard, screaming and refusing to leave. She said the neighbor finally went home when the deputy arrived.
Staschak then went to the neighbor, identified as Johnny Jefferson Jackson, 56, 231 Tester Road. When he arrived, Staschak spoke with a woman who shared the residence with Jackson. The woman told Staschak that Jackson was asleep and she would keep him in the house if he woke up.
