SALYERSVILLE, Ky. — A Letcher County man has been arrested after police say he engaged in domestic assault while driving under the influence on the Mountain Parkway.

The Magoffin County Sheriff’s Office and Salyersville Police were called Friday evening to the incident, which they described as a “rolling domestic.”\ About eight miles west of Salyersville, they found the vehicle on the side of the road with its hazard lights flashing.

There, they found the driver, John Hayden Fleming, 25, of Ermine, who they said smelled strongly of alcohol. His wife was in the passenger seat with a bloody nose and a large bite mark on her arm. She told officer that Fleming had been drinking, and he had been punching and biting her numerous times.

Fleming reportedly admitted to police that he had been drinking Bootlegger beer all day, and he subsequently failed a field sobriety test. Martin was arrested on charges of DUI, wanton endangerment and fourth-degree assault.

On the way to the sheriff’s office, police say Fleming began threatening to beat up officers and then became combative when they reached to jail. That earned him additional charges of resisting arrest, menacing and disorderly conduct.

He is being held in the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center, in Paintsville.
