SALYERSVILLE, Ky. (WMDJ) — A domestic violence call on Christmas Day led to a physical struggle and multiple charges for a Magoffin County man.

According to an arrest citation, deputies with the Magoffin County Sheriff’s Office were called to a reported domestic disturbance on Middle Fork in Salyersville.

Deputies later located the suspect, identified as Brian Inzer, in a nearby church parking lot. Officers reported smelling a strong odor of alcohol. Inzer told deputies he had consumed two beers.

When deputies attempted to place him under arrest, they say Inzer pulled away and physically resisted. The citation says deputies were initially unable to restrain him during a brief struggle.

Investigators also claim Inzer attempted to get his dog to attack deputies while continuing to resist arrest.

Deputies say Inzer had threatened to kill his wife and was throwing objects inside the home. Witnesses reportedly told officers he had been drinking and may have been under the influence of narcotics.

Inzer was eventually taken into custody and transported to the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center. He was charged with alcohol intoxication in a public place, domestic violence, menacing, resisting arrest, assault of a police officer, disorderly conduct, and wanton endangerment of a police officer.
