EPD: Man arrested after allegedly wrecking vehicle, assaulting passengers

The Elizabethtown Police Department arrested an Eastview man last week after he assaulted two people in a vehicle.

According to arrest citations, Brandon Medlock allegedly assaulted the driver and passenger of a vehicle he was in after getting into an altercation with the two over money. Medlock reportedly attempted to grab the steering wheel from the backseat and wreck the car several times. According to Officer John Thomas, it did not end here.

The vehicle pulled into the Elizabethtown Police Department’s parking lot, and immediately, Medlock was removed from the vehicle and detained until Hardin County EMS could treat the victims. Both victims were transported to Baptist Health Hardin for treatment.

Medlock was charged with assault and wanton endangerment, and was lodged in the Hardin County Detention Center.
