Man faces gun, threat charges

Staff Reports

MOULTRIE — A Moultrie man was charged Monday after he allegedly fired an assault rifle and made a threat Sunday night.

Jeremy George Ives, 33, of 1800 Pine Circle, was charged with making terroristic threats (family violence), possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and discharging a firearm while under the influence of alcohol.

A Moultrie police officer was called to a house on Pine Circle at 9:11 p.m. Sunday about what was thought to be an unauthorized use of a vehicle. The officer spoke with a resident of the house, who stated Ives left the house in their Chrysler Sebring against her wishes.

The woman stated the incident started when Ives left a family gathering with a friend earlier in the day. When he returned home, he was allegedly extremely intoxicated, and he wanted to leave again in the car but she refused to give him her car keys. She told police Ives does not have a valid driver’s license.

Ives was able to get a set of keys but allegedly became more enraged when they were not the right ones, police said. When he came back to get the correct set of keys, police said he also allegedly grabbed an assault rifle, possibly an AK-47, and fired one shot out the back door. The woman stated she followed Ives into the garage, and he allegedly stated he would kill everyone if any police were there when he returned.

Ives was placed under arrest at the house Monday afternoon and was taken to Colquitt County Jail.
