A Daytona Beach man Volusia deputies said was smoking drugs over several days with a partner was accused of trying to kill the man in an attack with a pick ax, sheriff's investigators said.

Daniel Brown, 47, was charged with attempted felony murder, manufacture or delivery of methamphetamine and trafficking methamphetamine. He was being held at the Volusia County Branch Jail on Wednesday on $105,000 bail, records show.

According to investigative reports, Brown met the victim, Dylan Everett, 26, over the weekend and they were together at a home on Gary Boulevard in Daytona Beach where they had been smoking methamphetamine for several days, reports show.

On Tuesday, an argument between the two men broke out after 4:30 p.m. Everett told investigators that Brown took his cellphone and during the physical argument, Brown grabbed a pick ax and swung it at his head. Everett deflected the blow by raising his right arm and suffered a 2-inch puncture. Everett was also wounded in the leg, investigators said. Everett was taken to Halifax Health Medical Center for treatment.

Brown accused Everett of taking things from the home and breaking a door but his story had several inconsistencies, reports state.

While investigating the incident, deputies checked out a shed on the property where Brown was located and discovered a meth lab in a duffle bag. The sheriff's narcotics team found three plastic bottles converted into one-pot labs, lighter fluid, ammonium nitrate, lithium batteries, Sudafed packs and pyrex dishes, reports detail.
