As a result of a Texas County Sheriff’s Department investigation, a Cabool man is jailed on five counts of felony firearms charges.
Several officers went on June 19 to a Colborn Road residence at Cabool regarding a report of stolen property.
A man who lives there gave consent for officers to search the residence and several outbuildings. During the search, 28 guns were found and seized, along with lots of ammunition, two six-gallon air compressors, a Stihl leaf blower, a Stihl chainsaw and other items. The total value of items seized was reportedly $10,095.
