Pike County Man Charged After Alleged Assault Involving Children

PIKEVILLE, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Pike County man is facing multiple charges following a reported domestic incident involving children.

 

Pikeville Police were called to an apartment on College Street after receiving a report of a disturbance between a man and a child.

 

Officers say they were met outside by several children and a woman holding a baby. The woman told police the suspect, identified as 34-year-old Deshaun Gwyn, pushed her aside while she was holding the infant and then began assaulting their sons.

 

Police say one child was holding a clump of hair he claimed had been pulled out by his father. Another child complained of a possible hand injury after trying to pull the suspect away. A third child reported a busted lip, which he said happened while attempting to break up the altercation.

 

According to police, Gwyn ran upstairs when officers arrived, then jumped from a window and fled on foot. He was arrested a short time later.

 

Gwyn is charged with felony fleeing police, along with misdemeanor counts of assault, menacing, and endangering the welfare of a minor. He's currently lodged in the Pike County Detention Center.
