GRETHEL, Ky. — A Floyd County man was arrested on multiple charges after deputies say he charged at them with a knife while they were responding to an attempted break-in.

Police were called to a Grethel home Sunday night, after a couple reported that Mitchell Williams, 40, was trying to break down their door, armed with a knife and threatening to kill them.

When the deputies arrived on the scene, they spotted Williams walking away with his hands in his pockets, talking to himself. Police say he ignored commands to stop and remove his hand from his pockets.

After a deputy used a beanbag round to stop him, the police report says Williams pulled a knife and started toward the officer, yelling that he wanted the deputy to kill him. The deputy used a taser on him instead, allowing him to get the knife away from Williams and place him under arrest.

Williams has been charged with attempted burglary, two counts of wanton endangerment of a police officer a several other charges.
