A man who allegedly assaulted a 12-year old girl was arrested on multiple charges Monday night.
An arrest citation for 46-year old Damon Hinkle of Hopkinsville says he placed the victim in a choke hold and tossed her against a closet door. He also reportedly threatened to kill a person with a knife during the incident.
When Hopkinsville police arrived at the location of the incident in the 600 block of Vass Lane, Hinkle allegedly fled out the back door, but was soon caught and arrested.
He’s charged with first-degree wanton endangerment, fourth-degree assault and fleeing or evading police.
