Kings County Deputies, on Wednesday, March 23, at about 10 a.m. arrived at the home of a suspect, DeAndre Threadgill, to serve him with an emergency protective order.

Kings County Dispatch ran a check on Threadgill, 33, and discovered he had an active Kings County DUI warrant issued for his arrest with a bail of $200,000.

Deputies arrested Threadgill and searched the suspect locating a loaded 9mm handgun in his waistband. The firearm contained eight rounds of 9mm ammunition, and the weapon did not have a serial number. It was a “ghost” gun, making it untraceable.

According to the sheriff’s department, Threadgill had previously been convicted of a felony and was not permitted to possess the handgun or ammunition.

Deputies booked Threadgill into the Kings County Jail on the charges that included being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, being a convicted felon in possession of ammunition, and the DUI warrant. His bail was set at $260,000.
