FRANKLIN COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) - A man imprisoned on attempted murder charges in connection to a Carabelle standoff last month is facing additional charges after threatening to kill the Franklin County sheriff and his family during a phone call.
The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office has charged Daniel Gray with corruption against a public servant after review of a recorded phone call made by the inmate using another inmates PIN number.
The phone call was discovered on Monday while conducting an investigation for contraband inside of the detention center.
They say Gray was one of the six inmates to ingest the synthetic marijuana (K2 or Spice) and be taken to the hospital.
Deputies say Gray made threats to murder Sheriff Smith as well as to murder and rape the sheriff's family members while on the phone.
The Sheriff’s Office says it takes this matter seriously and will continue to do so for all such threats against any public servant in our community.
Gray was charged with three counts of attempted murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and criminal mischief after a standoff in Carabelle last month.
