A man was arrested after three marijuana plants and other chemicals were found inside his home, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office said.

Marijuana plants and drug paraphernalia were found inside a Jackson County home on Feb. 16, 2017.

Deputies said they arrived at the home of Jeffery McCormack after receiving a report of a man wanting to commit suicide on Vinson Street in Woodville on Feb. 16. McCormack started cursing at authorities once they came to the door, law enforcement said. When the suspect started poking a deputy in the chest, authorities forced entry into the home and detained McCormack for the officer's safety as well as McCormack's.

During the encounter, deputies said they saw marijuana drying on a tray in plain view in the kitchen. A search warrant was obtained for the suspect's residence. Along with the marijuana plants, narcotics investigators found marijuana grow equipment, chemicals and drug paraphernalia.

McCormack was arrested and charged with felony possession of drug paraphernalia, first-degree unlawful possession of marijuana and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. He was booked into Jackson County Jail.

The sheriff's office said other arrests are expected since this is an ongoing investigation.
