OWENSBORO, Kentucky — A Decatur man faces a charge of attempted murder of a police officer stemming from an altercation Friday with authorities in Kentucky.
According to a news release from the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a welfare check involving a man walking in the middle of a road.
Upon their arrival, deputies came into contact with Josh Cliff, 31, who they say was not cooperative and during attempts to detain him assaulted a deputy and attempted to flee on foot.
“Almost immediately after deputies were able to get Cliff into handcuffs and still struggling with him, Cliff produced a handgun which he had concealed on his person,” the release stated.
