On Monday, Marks' daughter tried to intervene when he was allegedly beating up on her mother; Marks is alleged to have pulled a gun on the 16-year-old daughter and her boyfriend. He then allegedly chased them at speeds of 100 miles per hour and allegedly tried pushing them into a lake.
Photos of the aftermath of that incident have been posted by Lisa Holder:
And here's a vid of the SWAT team "accessing" the house this afternoon by way of the roof:
Marks was last known to be driving a 1990s Chevy Tahoe with dark tinted windows and shiny tail lights. At one time there had been skull sticker on the back but it has since been removed.
A member of the boy's family tells Disclosure they are upset that it has taken five days to get the warrant issued.
