Man charged with threatening girlfriend, breaking into apartment
PIKEVILLE, Ky. — A Mingo County man has been arrested for breaking into his girlfriend’s Pikeville home, after she had reported him to police for threatening to kill her.
Pikeville Police were called to the woman’s Kentucky Avenue apartment just after 7 a.m. Saturday. She told police that 35-year-old Kenneth Brad Hall, of Delbarton, had threatened her, and she played a recording of the call in which he allegedly said he would kill her and take her children.
While police were talking to the woman, Hall allegedly called back and told her she would wake up the next day with two black eyes.
The woman then left to obtain an emergency protective order, but while she was doing that, Hall allegedly called again to say he had broken into her apartment and that he was going to take his things and destroy some of her things.
Police arrived at the apartment just as Hall was leaving, and he was arrested. The police report says the door had been kicked in and various items had been thrown around the apartment.
Hall is now charged with burglary, assault, terroristic threatening and menacing.

Mingo fugitive arrested in Pike after short chase
PHELPS, Ky. — A Pike County man wanted on fugitive warrants in West Virginia was arrested early Sunday morning, but not before compiling new charges in Kentucky.
A state trooper was patrolling around Phelps just before midnight on Saturday, when he saw Antonio Prater, 27, of Stopover, drive past. The officer knew Prater to be wanted and began to follow just in time to spot Prater turning onto Bones Branch.
When the trooper caught up to him, Prater was backing into a driveway. When Prater looked up and spotted the officer, he hit a building on the property, then jumped out of his vehicle and ran away, disregarding commands to stop. But as he fled one officer, he slid down a hill where a second state trooper was waiting and he was arrested.
Prater is now charged with fleeing police, criminal mischief and trespassing in Pike County.
He was wanted in West Virginia on warrants from two felony theft cases in Williamson.
He is currently being held without bond in the Pike County Detention Center, awaiting extradition to Mingo County.
