Deputies say they deputies responded to a criminal mischief complaint around 1:15 a.m. Sunday on Biscayne Road in a mobile home community off Poinciana Boulevard just south of U.S. Highway 192. They say they observed a male subject attempting to conceal himself in the woods. When deputies attempted to make contact with him, he fled and hid under a mobile home. Deputies located drugs and a several firearms in the area. A perimeter was set up around the mobile home, and the residents of the mobile home were safely moved out of the residence.
Over the course of the standoff, deputies say they deployed gas and pepper balls, to encourage the suspect to come out from under the mobile home. Just before 3 p.m., Sears was finally apprehended, arrested and taken to the Osceola County Jail.
Sears has a number of prior arrests in Osceola County, for charges such as aggravated assault, drug possession and petit theft.
