According to a news release, Detective Robert Stucki with HPD was at the detention center attempting to serve a court order signed by a Christian County Circuit Court Judge to a juvenile at the facility.

He allegedly placed his arms around Stucki, lifted him up and then slamming him the floor. The juvenile also damaged personal property of the detective.
KSP has charged the juvenile, who is unnamed in the report, with one count third-degree assault of a police officer and third-degree criminal mischief.
