TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Deputies say an investigation lead them to find drugs, multiple guns, and nearly $1,500 in cash inside a Tallahassee home.

Katorro Hall, 31, Jonah Hall, 29, Michael Cherry, 28, and Tobias Krueger, 34, were arrested on Tuesday.

According to court documents, undercover detectives purchased drugs several times from a home in the 3400 block of Springhill Road over a period of two months. In each instance listed in the court documents, the undercover purchasers got different drugs than what were agreed upon.

In one transaction, the undercover detectives thought they were purchasing heroin but instead got a substance that tested positive for Fentanyl. In another transaction, the informant got Alpha-PVP or flakka, instead of MDMA.

On Sept. 6, documents say deputies executed a warrant to search the Springhill home and saw several people there to include the Hall brothers, Cherry and Krueger.

The Hall brothers and Krueger tried to run away when LCSO came through the home, but were quickly detained by deputies. Documents note that Cherry was carrying his infant child when deputies found him behind the home, seemingly attempting to run away as well.

When officers searched Katorro Hall, they found seven grams of flakka and more than $300 in cash on him. When they searched Jonah Hall, they found more than $1,000 in cash on him.

According to court documents, deputies searched the home and found the following items:

  • Approximately 21 grams of Alpha-PVP in individual baggies 
  • Approximately 10 grams of crack cocaine
  • Approximately 7 grams of methamphetamine
  • A small amount of marijuana
  • Six guns ranging from pistols to shotguns; Of the guns, one of them was determined to be stolen and another had its serial number removed
  • $175 in cash
  • Digital scales
  • Drug paraphernalia

Documents say that when deputies spoke to Katorro Hall, he said he didn't live at the home and didn't have anything to do with the drug activity. When asked about the drugs he had, he stated, "I don't know who's it is but it ain't mine."

When investigators spoke to Jonah Hall, he also claimed he didn't live there and denied involvement with drug sales. Documents say he later told deputies that he was aware there were drugs in the house, but said they were for personal use.

According to court documents, Cherry told investigators that he lived there with his infant child and said two of the rooms belonged to the Hall brothers. He also stated that the Hall brothers sold drugs.

Based on the evidence, Cherry and the Hall brothers are facing several charges related to the drugs and guns found in the residence. Their full charges are as follows:

Katorro Hall: Sale of Fentanyl, Possession of Crack Cocaine with intent to sell, Possession of Alpha-PVP with intent to sell, Possession of a Firearm by a convicted felon, Grand Theft of a Firearm, Maintaining a known Drug House, and Possession of Paraphernalia.
