Hall County deputies attempt to serve warrants on one wanted man and ended up with seven people in custody.

Authorities went to a home on Silverwood Drive Tuesday looking for 29-year-old Justin Brister, of Dahlonega. Investigators said Brister had warrants out of Lumpkin and Hall counties.

Officers detained one man right away, but say a second man released an aggressive dog on them. Deputies eventually calmed the dog.

Four other people then surrendered. After a search of the home, investigators found two more people hiding inside.
