GREENUP —
A man who scuffled with a Kentucky State Police trooper and a Greenup County sheriff’s deputy at a traffic safety checkpoint was indicted recently by a Greenup County grand jury.
Lonnie Horsley, 54, of Garrison, was charged with disarming a peace officer and third-degree assault, both Class D felonies, and carrying a concealed deadly weapon, resisting arrest and alcohol intoxication, all misdemeanors.
Horsley was charged in connection with an incident that occurred Sept. 20 as the officers were working a checkpoint on Ky. 784, Schultz Road.
According to Greenup County Sheriff Keith Cooper, as KSP Trooper Nathan Carter approached the driver of a vehicle that was stopped at the checkpoint, Deputy Cody Fuller saw the passenger, later identified as Horsley, pull a pistol out from underneath the car seat.
Fuller moved to take the gun away from Horsley and a struggle ensued, during which Horsley allegedly tried to gain control of Fuller’s duty weapon, Cooper said.
Horsley — listed in jail records as being 5 feet 4 inches tall and 325 pounds — scuffled with both Fuller and Carter, but the two offers were eventually able to secure the scene and restrain the suspect, the sheriff said.
The driver of the vehicle, a 37-year-old man from Garrison, was charged with driving under the influence, no insurance and other traffic-related offenses.
A grand jury indictment is a formal accusation of a crime and does not establish guilt.

‰Aaron J. Pack, 24, of Wheelersburg, and Benny R. Kilgore, 40, of Franklin Furnace, both charged with first-degree robbery and second-degree persistent felony offender. The two were charged in a Sept. 10 holdup at the Lloyd BP.
