On May 5, 2018 Levy County Deputies responded to a family
disturbance at a home in Inglis. Deputies spoke to family members who described
Kenneth A. Everts (12-2-75) as brandishing a firearm and making non-specific
threats. Family members said Everts took several firearms and placed them
inside of his truck then fled the home prior to the deputy’s arrival.
Everts returned to the home shortly after deputies began
their investigation and was taken into custody. Deputies discovered a bullet
proof vest inside his vehicle. Everts was questioned about the firearms family
members said he had, and he denied ever possessing a gun. He told deputies he
was a convicted felon and was prohibited from owning one.
These statements did not deter deputies, and eventually
Everts confessed to dropping several guns off at a friend’s home before
returning to his home. Everts told deputies how to find the friend’s home and
deputies recovered two AK 47’s, a shotgun, and two pistols. In addition to
these guns, Everts also dropped off ammunition, large knives, smoke grenades,
brass knuckles, holsters and a mask at the residence.
Everts was arrested for possession of a firearm by a
convicted felon and transported to the Levy County Detention Facility. He is
currently being held on a $200,000.00 bond.
