Deputies have arrested a man accused of shooting at his wife.

The Johnson County Sheriff's Office say Charles Blankenship, 24, came home high on meth on Friday and got into an argument with his wife. Deputies say during the argument, Blankenship fired three shots at his wife.

Deputies said his wife and child were able to escape from the house unharmed.

When deputies arrived, Blankenship refused to exit the home. That's when deputies contacted the county attorney for an arrest warrant.

"We turned the hallway by the kitchen and saw him sitting there by a 9 millimeter handgun and he refused to do anything, would not move, would not put his hands up. We could not see what he was doing really," said Deputy Sheriff Byron Fairchild.

Kentucky State Police assisted in the arrest.

"He made a little bit of a movement so we took the chance and ended up grabbing the gun and were able to grab him and after a short struggle, we were able to get him in handcuffs," said Fairchild.

Deputies also found several pills, a bag of methamphetamine, and marijuana on Blankenship.
