A Radcliff man is facing multiple charges after threatening a family, assaulting one of them and fleeing from police Saturday night in Grayson County.
According to court records, dispatch received a call of a man threatening to kill them with a machete and someone being unconscious on Duff Road.
One man was reportedly assaulted with a tire jack tool by the suspect, 36 year-old Eliud Lopez-Cruz, who ran through the woods behind the home.
The victim was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Multiple witnesses told police Lopez gave them a fake name and lied about being wanted by law enforcement.
When asked to leave, Lopez left the home and attempted to burn down an outbuilding and busted the windows out of two vehicles, according to court records.
The family locked the door whenever Lopez returned to the home. He then tried to force entry inside, breaking two windows and still armed with a weapon.
Sunday around 1:30 a.m., Lopez was found near Taylor Cemetery.
After fleeing from police and not complying with verbal commands, Lopez eventually complied and was arrested without further incident.
He is currently charged with Criminal Mischief, Arson, Wanton Endangerment, Assault, Fleeing or Evading Police, Menacing and Burglary. He is lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center.
