Silcox also told the victim he would force law enforcement to kill him and would not surrender.

Silcox was arrested by the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office for manufacture and possession of Methamphetamine and is being held on a $13,000 bond.

Silcox will ultimately be transported to Levy and Alachua Counties to appear on the charges in these jurisdictions.
