A Hopkinsville man is facing multiple charges, including wanton endangerment and unlawful imprisonment, following a disturbance on Linda Drive early Wednesday morning.
According to the report from the Hopkinsville Police Department, officers responded to a Linda Drive residence around 5 a.m. for reports of a disturbance. Upon arrival, contact was made with 19-year old Alex Deason of Hopkinsville, who was inside a bedroom holding his infant child and refusing to allow a female victim to leave. A witness told officers that Deason had reportedly pushed the female victim earlier in the day.
Deason was allegedly manifestly under the influence and refused to put the child down or comply with officers’ commands. He eventually put the child down and was taken into custody. There was reportedly a loaded firearm in the bedroom during the incident.
He was lodged in the Christian County Jail and charged with first-degree wanton endangerment, first-degree unlawful imprisonment, fourth-degree assault and resisting arrest.
