Early Sunday, deputies responded to an alleged domestic incident involving a gun in the 700 block of Cordova Loop, just east of State Highway 46.
Deputies soon found a vehicle tied to the incident fleeing from the scene. After pulling the vehicle over, deputies detained Ricketts. A search of the vehicle yielded multiple handguns and “a large quantity of narcotics, and a significant amount of cash.”
While detained, Ricketts damaged a GCSO patrol vehicle and “briefly accessed a rifle.” The weapon was secured without injury, authorities said. It is not immediately clear if the weapon was inside the vehicle or on his person.
Ricketts was taken into custody on drug, money laundering, unlawful carry and family violence assault charges, court records show.
It was not immediately clear the quantity of drugs or money in the vehicle after Ricketts was detained. KSAT reached out to GCSO early Monday for clarification.
