PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Floyd County man is facing felony wanton endangerment and other charges after police said he left a woman and her five month old child along Route 114 following a domestic incident.

According to Prestonsburg Police, a woman came to Prestonsburg City Hall on Sunday asking to speak with officers. She told police she and her infant child had been riding with 43-year-old Michael Ousley, of Auxier, to the Prestonsburg Village Shopping Center.

The woman told officers Ousley appeared agitated during the drive and believed it was related to her getting a new job.

Police said the woman reported Ousley suddenly made a U-turn in the shopping center parking lot and drove at a high rate of speed toward Route 114 while the infant was no longer secured in a car seat.

The woman said she repeatedly asked Ousley to stop. She told police he eventually pulled over near Archer Park, where he allegedly attempted to strike her and grabbed her by the hair as she tried to leave the vehicle with the child.

Police said the woman was able to get away and was taken to the police station by another driver who reportedly witnessed the incident.

Ousley was later arrested outside his home. He is charged with felony wanton endangerment, misdemeanor assault and multiple traffic violations.
