Just before 8pm on Thursday, Casey County Deputy Austin was called to Lynn Street due to a reported altercation.

Upon his arrival, he encountered Landon Carman, who alleged that Brandon Richards had damaged his door in an attempt to engage in a physical confrontation. Richards countered, claiming that Carman had verbally abused him and threatened eviction, which incited his anger. In response, Richards rushed toward Carman’s residence, but Carman had already secured the door. Richards admitted to forcefully knocking on the door, causing it to open, but asserted that he did not enter the premises.

During the interaction with Richards, Deputy Harris observed signs of impairment, including Richards’ unsteady stance and slurred speech, accompanied by the strong odor of alcohol. When questioned about his alcohol consumption, Richards confessed to having consumed several beers.
Subsequently, Deputy Harris arrested Richards and escorted him to the Casey County Jail.

Richards, 33 of Middleburg, now faces charges of third-degree criminal mischief and public intoxication due to alcohol.
