Glasgow man charged with assault after altercation

BARREN COUNTY, Ky. – One man has been arrested after authorities say he shot his brother during a dispute in Barren County.

The Barren County Sheriff’s Office says it responded at about 3:30 p.m. Sunday to a residence on Dover Church Road. Authorities say a domestic dispute ended in one person being shot.

Upon arriving, authorities say they spoke to Joshua E. Roscoe, 34, of Glasgow.
