A Screven County man who tested positive for methamphetamines held his wife and mother-in-law at gunpoint Thursday before turning himself in after a three-hour manhunt. The wife also was charged with methamphetamine possession, Screven County Sheriff Mike Kile said. Kile said James Mitchum Lee, 35, held a 30.06 bolt action hunting rifle to his wife, Shannon Nicole Jackson Lee, 30, also of Plantation Road, as well as her mother, during a domestic dispute around 8 p.m. Thursday at their home on Plantation Road in Sylvania.
