Man charged with assault of Glasgow police officer

During this time, police say he began kicking and kicked an officer in the face.

Crenshaw was placed on the ground again before being placed in the patrol car, authorities say.

Crenshaw was arrested and transported to the Barren County Detention Center.

He faces charges of first-degree wanton endangerment, third-degree assault of a police officer or probation officer, resisting arrest and third-degree criminal trespassing.
