BANNER, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Floyd County man was arrested following a reported disturbance that led deputies to a residence in the Banner community.

According to an arrest citation, deputies were called to a family member’s home on December 10th after receiving a report of a man making threats. When law enforcement arrived, the man, identified as 42-year-old Benjamin Davis of Crum Branch in Banner, had barricaded himself inside a bedroom.

Police say Davis made repeated threats to burn the residence while refusing to come out of the room. Deputies attempted several times to make contact and gain access. The homeowner later gave permission for deputies to force the bedroom door open.

Once inside, officers reported that Davis took an aggressive posture and did not comply with commands. While deputies tried to place him in custody, he continued to resist by kicking and struggling.

Authorities say a taser was used to gain control of the situation. No injuries were reported.

Davis was taken to the Floyd County Detention Center and charged with second-degree terroristic threatening, second-degree criminal mischief, resisting arrest, and menacing.
