A man tried to use his body to prevent police from entering his home, where police say several drugs and weapons were inside.

Sean Michael Acree, 34, of Gainesville, was accused of possessing drugs and weapons in a residence on the 3700 block of Northwest 45th Street Tuesday afternoon, according to a Gainesville Police arrest report.

An Alachua County Drug Task Force agent responded to a search warrant, the report said. An Alachua County SWAT team also came.

When SWAT deputies approached the house, they saw Acree standing at the entrance, the report said. A sergeant told Acree to lie face down on the ground, but he refused.

Acree kneeled and used his body to prevent SWAT members from entering, the report said. The sergeant moved Acree from the entrance and told him to crawl to a nearby lieutenant.

“F--- you, I’m not crawling anywhere,” Acree said, according to the report.

The lieutenant grabbed him by the arm, but Acree pulled away, the report said.

Officers found a spoon with residue, about one and a half grams of marijuana and ammunition in his bedroom, the report said. Needles indicating narcotic use were also found.

A witness saw people inject heroin inside the residence, the report said.

Acree was convicted of grand theft in November 2010, according to court records. He is charged with possessing drug paraphernalia and maintaining a drug dwelling.

He is being held within the Alachua County Jail in lieu of a $36,000 bond.
