A Louisville man is facing a list of charges after police say he violated the city’s mask ordinance and attacked officers who stopped him.
An arrest citation said the incident happened on Wednesday (10/02) when someone called 911 about a man with a large gun wearing a full face mask. Officers found 24 year-old Frank Childress in the Dollar General parking lot on Dixie Highway.
Police said they thought a gun was in his waistband, but he denied it. The arrest slip says he took off while police were performing a pat down.
When they caught up to him on Oak Street, officers said Childress wasn’t cooperating. The citation said Childress dented a police cruiser, tried to spit on an officer, broke an officer’s Apple Watch and another officer’s sunglasses.
Childress was arrested on seven charges including possession of marijuana, menacing, and resisting arrest.
Police also said he was in violation of Louisville’s face mask ordinance and caused “public alarm” which is why someone called 911 in the first place.
