Man served with warrant for stalking, charged with assaulting officers

A Hopkinsville man wanted on warrants for stalking and probation violation is now charged with assaulting a police officer following a struggle Tuesday afternoon on Catalpa Drive.

An arrest citation for 41-year old Michael Hunter of Hopkinsville says he tried to escape out of the rear window of a home in the 200 block of Catalpa and that he fought with officers, spit on them and threatened to kill them.

Police say they found two bags of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia on and around his person.

He was charged with trafficking in meth, third-degree assault of an officer, terroristic threatening, resisting arrest and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Hunter was also served with a warrant for stalking alleging he has sent multiple unwelcome sexually explicit photos and voice mails to a woman and has called her office and talked in a sexually explicit way on multiple occasions.

Warrants for probation violation and harassing communications were also served against Hunter, who was lodged in the Christian County Jail.
