RICHMOND —
A Louisville man fought Sunday to keep his car which already was hooked to a Dargavell's Towing & Recovery truck.
Keith S. Rowe, 58, was charged with first-degree wanton endangerment after police say he endangered towing company employees who were removing his vehicle from the U.S. Bank parking lot at about 11:40 p.m.
“Officers learned that the U.S. Bank parking lot was posted as a 'No Parking' area after banking hours and that Dargavell’s Towing & Recovery was responsible for removing vehicles in violation of the parking restriction,” said Richmond Police Chief Larry Brock.
Dargavell’s empl-oyees were in the process of removing it from the lot when Rowe appeared from a nearby establishment and a dispute erupted, he said.
“Rowe’s vehicle was partially hooked to the tow truck at the time and Rowe reportedly entered his vehicle and attempted to break it free,” Brock said. “As he was doing so, a Dargavell’s employee to the rear of his vehicle was placed in danger of being struck by the vehicle if Rowe’s attempts had been successful.”
Rowe then reportedly forearmed one of the Dargavell’s employees in the neck before police arrived.
The man was taken to the Madison County Detention Center after the incident.
Two men arrested after fleeing from police
Richmond police arrested Anthony W. Cornelison, 46, of Brandy Lane and Daniel A. Cornelison, 26, no permanent address, Saturday after an officer realized both had outstanding warrants.
A patrol officer on Ballard Drive observed the men at about 5:30 p.m., according to Brock.
When the officer turned around his police vehicle to make contact with the two men, they disappeared behind 511 Ballard Drive.
“The officer identified an apartment that the men were believed to have entered and the resident allowed the officer inside to check for the wanted men,” Brock said.
Both men were found hiding in the bathroom, he said.
The officer also recovered a plastic baggie from the toilet that contained 7.5 Neurontin tablets that were ultimately linked to Anthony Cornelison who is charged with illegal possession of a legend drug, tampering with physical evidence, contempt of court for failure to pay child support and two counts of contempt of court failure to appear. Daniel was charged with contempt of court for failure to appear and violations of conditions of his release, police state. Both men were taken to the Madison County Detention Center.

A caller informed police that what they believed to be a drug deal was being made in the Exxon Friendly Mart parking lot, according to police.
A Richmond police officer was dispatched to the store and encountered Silket, Brock said. The officer then discovered an outstanding bench warrant for his arrest from Pike County in connection with prior charges of possession of marijuana and endangering the welfare of a minor. A body search revealed that he was in possession of one-half of a Percocet tablet, police say.
In addition to the warrant charges, Silket was charged with first-degree possession of a controlled substance and taken to the Madison County Detention Center.
Anyone with information about these cases is asked to call the Richmond Police Department at 623-1162.
