Ivel Man Charged With Child Endangerment, Assaulting Officer

IVEL, Ky. (WMDJ) — In Floyd County, an Ivel man was jailed Tuesday after deputies say they found two young children outside unsupervised during a disturbance call in the Ivy Creek area.

 

According to an arrest citation, deputies responded to an apartment on May 13 after receiving a complaint. When deputies arrived, they reportedly found two small children outside near the roadway crying without adult supervision.

 

The citation states deputies entered the apartment and heard yelling coming from an upstairs room. Authorities said 39-year-old William E. Hohenecker was found lying on the floor inside a bedroom. A juvenile at the home reportedly told deputies Hohenecker had consumed a large amount of vodka.

 

Deputies said Hohenecker initially spoke with them, but became aggressive and took what was described as a fighting stance while threatening an officer. While deputies attempted to take him into custody, the citation states Hohenecker resisted and kicked an officer several times while being escorted downstairs.

 

Authorities also allege Hohenecker threatened deputies at the scene and damaged equipment inside a patrol vehicle while being transported for medical clearance. The citation further states he later spit on an officer during the transport process.

 

Hohenecker was taken to the Floyd County Detention Center following medical clearance. He is charged with assaulting an officer involving bodily fluids, three counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, three counts of terroristic threatening, menacing, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief and resisting arrest.

 

He was lodged in the Floyd County Detention Center.
