A Hopkinsville man was arrested on assault and wanton endangerment charges this morning after an incident between neighbors at the West Side Mobile Home Park.

The report says Hopkinsville Police were called to the mobile home park around 2:30 and talked to 24-year old Samuel Elkins and 22-year old Jessica Newcomb of Hopkinsville. They said 31-year old Joel Boyles of Hopkinsville had assaulted Elkins with his fist and struck Ms. Newcomb in the face as she tried to break them up.

Elkins was treated for a severe laceration to the back of his head and a knot under his eye. Boyles is also accused of swerving in his vehicle in an attempt to run the victims over.

Boyles was arrested and charged with second degree assault, two counts of first degree wanton endangerment and public intoxication.
