An investigation on Richard Street Friday morning led to the arrest of a man on assault and gun-related charges.
A woman told Hopkinsville police that 47-year old Ricky Wimberly of Hopkinsville entered her house just after 4 a.m. after she told him to go away and he remained there until police arrived.
She said Wimberly had a gun on his person that he threatened to use to harm himself and he allegedly struck an officer with his left hand when the officer tried to detain him to locate the weapon.
The arrest citation says he continued to struggle with police as they handcuffed him and a gun matching the description given by the victim was located near the home. A computer check showed the handgun had been reported stolen and that Wimberly is a convicted felon.
He was arrested and charged with third-degree assault of an officer, resisting arrest, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, receiving a stolen firearm and first-degree criminal trespass.
