Multiple assault charges were filed against a man who allegedly challenged a neighbor and police officers late Wednesday.
Kenny Lee Smith, 28, allegedly waved a knife at a man who told him his yells in an East Depot Street around 10:25 p.m. were keeping his family awake. Police were called after Smith allegedly fell due to intoxication while challenging the neighbor to fight.
Officers checked the home where Smith had been staying. The arms of a woman in the home bore bruises and a bite mark allegedly inflicted by Smith, police said.
Smith allegedly left, police said, but returned to his home around two hours later and hid in a closet as police returned. He was arrested at taser point after allegedly resisting handcuffs and shortly afterwards unbuckling his seat belt in a patrol car.
Charges of aggravated domestic assault, domestic assault and two counts of violation of an order of protection were filed against Smith. He was held on $50,000 bond.
Unwanted guest
A homeless man allegedly living in a car without the owner’s permission was arrested Thursday.
Steven Ray Colbert, 57, was asleep in the car at Deals on Wheels, Madison Street, when police arrived.
Colbert told Officer Matt Sharp he didn’t think the dealership’s owner would mind. No permission had been sought or given.
A metal rod with large bolts and ball bearings taped to it was confiscated. Colbert told Sharp he kept the rod for defense.
A in-dash screen was smashed and the car’s rear view mirror had been broken, the report said.
Colbert was charged with criminal trespassing, vandalism and possession of prohibited weapon. He was held on $5,000 bond.
Wallet taken
A wallet was stolen Monday from a vehicle at a home on Deer Point Road, according to a Bedford County Sheriff’s Office report.
