A Covington man was arrested in the parking lot of a Corbin restaurant last week after a drunken brawl with police officers.
Steven Simpson Jr., 28, was charged with alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and menacing following the incident.
According to Corbin Police, officers were called to El Dorado Mexican Restaurant, located on Cumberland Falls Hwy. near I-75 Exit 25, last Friday night. Restaurant employees said Simpson was trying to fight with them.
When officers arrived, Simpson tried to leave and ignored orders to stop. He allegedly cursed at officers Stephen Meadors, Rick Baker and Coy Wilson and tried to fight them. He had to be physically restrained.
According to an arrest citation, Simpson had slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and was unsteady on his feet.
He was lodged in the Whitley County Detention Center following his arrest.
