JACKSON CO., Fla. (WTXL) - Jackson County deputies arrest a man for lying to authorities and resisting an officer with violence.

Just before 3p.m. on July 12, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office (JCSO) got a call from the Florida Highway Patrol about a man and a woman arguing outside of a dark red truck at the intersection of Highway 273 and Springhill Road in Campbellton.

According to investigators, a short time later, a witness called 911 relaying information from the male subject that a female had just shot two people in the head on the side of the road at the same place where the argument was reported. Investigators say the witness went on to give a detailed description about the shooting and information on how the man had left the area with the woman chasing him with a firearm.

JCSO says the man who supposedly escaped the area was found hiding in bushes in the city of Graceville across from West Florida Electric Company. He was taken to the police department to be investigated for the supposed shooting, where deputies say he was verbally and physically aggressive towards them.

Investigators went to the area where the supposed shooting took place, where they found a woman on a dark red truck but no shooting victims. According to deputies, the woman told them that the man, who was her boyfriend, had gone crazy while riding down the road, jumped out of the truck, and jumped into another vehicle with someone else headed toward Graceville.

Deputies have identified him as 31-year old Nathan Lamar Ogburn of Chipley. He has been taken to Jackson Hospital in Marianna for evaluation and once released, will be transported to the Jackson County Jail.
