A Liberty man was arrested Friday evening after officers responded to a domestic dispute.

On Friday around 7 PM, Casey County Deputy Austin Harris was dispatched to a location eight miles east of Liberty on Henson Ridge Road for a physical domestic in progress. Deputy Harris, along with Deputy Jacob Atwood and Officer Adam Hewett, arrived on the scene. As they approached the property, Gregory A. Hines, 42, of Liberty, walked down the sidewalk. When Deputy Harris began explaining their presence, Hines fled, prompting Harris to deploy his taser after multiple warnings. Hines was subdued and taken into custody.

Hines claimed the house was his and mentioned having sugar problems, prompting an EMS call. While escorting Hines to the road, Deputy Harris detected the odor of marijuana. Hines admitted to having marijuana in his jacket pocket. A search of Hines' bag revealed dry containers with suspected methamphetamine and burnt marijuana roaches.

Family members stated that Hines had been hitting the dishwasher but nothing physical had occurred. EMS transported Hines to Casey County Hospital, where he denied treatment and was deemed alert and competent.

Hines was arrested and charged with Fleeing or Evading Police-3rd Degree, Resisting Arrest, Possession of Methamphetamine-1st Degree, and Possession of Marijuana and Drug Paraphernalia. He was transported to Casey County Jail.
