KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- A manhunt has brought out a tank and an army of officers near a home on Tri County Road in Kissimmee (see map) early Thursday morning. The hunt started when deputies went to serve a warrant on a suspected drug house.Two of the suspects fled from the home and are on the run.
Investigators found pot plants inside the mobile home and shed. Agents moved in after receiving a tip at around 5:00am. They took one woman into custody, but two men escaped including 31-year-old David Theisen and 27-year-old Jamie Kemper.
Officers said one of the men has very long hair, past his waist.
As a precaution, two nearby schools, Four Corners Charter School and Westside K-8, were placed on lockdown.
Undercover drug agents are working to seal up the grow house, while offices continue the search for the two men.
Nearly 250 plants were confiscated, some fully grown and others were sprouting. The shed where they were growing was outfitted with lights and air-conditioning.
Both men are believed to have escaped into to the woods to the north of the crime scene. SWAT members said they had a difficult time moving in on the heavily-wooded property, with just one way in and out, under the cover of early-morning darkness.
"The house was off a dirt road, off of Tri County Road. It's a highly-wooded area and there is a lot of swamp land as well," said Twis Lizasuain, Osceola County Sheriff's Office.
Officers have not released what charges the woman who is in custody might face.
