Bryan Lee, 24, was arrested after police responded to a 911 call regarding a domestic dispute involving one person armed with a knife. When Officer Kyler Wright of the Bardstown Police responded about 9:25 p.m. Sunday to the call he found Lee walking away from the scene with blood dripping from his hand.

The homeowner armed herself with a kitchen knife, which Lee attempted to take from her, resulting in his hand injury.

Police found blood spatter in the residence and the knife was taken as evidence. Lee was arrested and charged with second-degree burglary; unlawful imprisonment, second-degree; and disorderly conduct. He was lodged in the Nelson County Jail.

The investigation is ongoing. Police request anyone with additional information about the incident to call them at (502) 348-6811.
