Murray man charged with assault of police officer

A Murray man was arrested after an altercation on Saturday night.

Just before midnight, Calloway County deputies responded to Brooklyn Drive to assist the Murray Police Department where several people were outside the residence. Deputies said 38-year-old Joel D. Henderson, Jr. was extremely agitated and yelling. 

Henderson reportedly continued his behavior despite warnings to stop, and was taken into custody. While being arrested, Henderson allegedly threatened and assaulted the deputy. 

Henderson's charges included assault of a police officer, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and alcohol intoxication in a public place.

The deputy did not require medical treatment.
