During the bust Friday, SWAT was called to the home he is renting.

Coleman is in jail under a $1 million bond.

This isn't Coleman's first run-in with the law.

Coleman has previously been arrested for communicating threats and driving while impaired, according to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office.

"I walk my dog out at all hours, so I have never felt unsafe but seeing that and hearing that, I am a little concerned," a neighbor, said.

Neighbors were shocked to learn of the charges because they said the neighborhood feels safe.

Crime stats back that up.

In the past month there have been seven crimes within 1 mile of the property, according to crime stats.

Police also arrested Kokka Coleman and Brentten Mason on unrelated charges.

They were also inside the home at the time.

Channel 9 saw people packing up cars and leaving the residence Monday. Neighbors said the family has started to move out since the arrest.

This is an ongoing investigation and more charges are likely, police said.
