Man Tries To Disarm Deputy

{Greenup, Kentucky}...Stephen Cooley, 37, of Garrison, and Lonnie Horsley, 53, are both facing charges after Greenup County Sheriff's Deputies say they tried to disarm a deputy during a traffic check point along Kentucky 784 about 7:30 P.M. Thursday. During the check, Trooper Nathan Carter approached a car driven by Cooley, and his passenger, Horsley, pulled a 25 caliber pistol from under his seat. Deputy Cody Fuller saw Horsley pull the gun and tried to take it away. During the struggle, Horsley also tried to steal Deputy Fuller's gun. After a short fight, Deputy Fuller and Trooper Carter were able to secure all of the guns and restrain Horsley. Horsley is charged with public intoxication, concealing a deadly weapon, attempting to disarm a peace officer, assault in the third degree and tampering with physical evidence. Cooley is charged with DUI, no insurance and other traffic offenses. He pleaded guilty Friday morning.
