PIKEVILLE, Ky. (WMDJ) — A report of a gun being pointed at water district employees led to the arrest of two Pike County men early Friday morning.

Kentucky State Police were called after workers with Mountain Water District said they were confronted while working in the Dix Fork area shortly after midnight Sept. 11.

Police say 74-year-old Arthur Leedy allegedly threatened the workers with a handgun and told them to leave the area.

Troopers later located Leedy and 39-year-old George May at a residence on Brown Branch Road. Court records say both men resisted officers during the encounter before being taken into custody.

Leedy faces charges including wanton endangerment, possession of a defaced firearm and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.

May is charged with obstructing governmental operations and resisting arrest.
