The suspect was identified by the Sheriff's Office as Ashlee Perdue, 31.

Deputies said Michael Diodato, 25, pulled into the driveway of the home while officers were at the scene.

Diodato was arrested by deputies on suspicion of driving on a revoked or suspended license and possession of methamphetamine, according to the Sheriff's Office.
