BOYD COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ) -- A man is facing a long list of charges after deputies say he tried to rob a Wal-Mart store.

It happened Monday night around 10 at the Wal-Mart on Route 60 in Boyd County.

According to the sheriff, employees spotted 30-year-old Glen Fields Jr. of Morehead trying to break into a locked stereo case with a pry bar to steal a car radio. As those workers approached Fields, he then struck a worker in the leg with the tool.

Officers arrived on the scene and arrested Fields. After being placed in the back of the cruiser, the sheriff says Fields began kicking the back window.

A Kentucky State Trooper who was on the scene opened the door and was kicked.

Fields faces charges of first degree robbery, assault, resisting arrest, and criminal mischief.

If you called 911 from the 854 area..then you got carter co 911. Trust me-I know this. Ever since the new 911 went in at grayson, anything close to them wil be intercepted by them. Either way, you should not take the law into your own hands. That makes you know better than the criminal.

Actually, anonymous, they have never been to my house. However, I did call for them one time when myself, my teenage daughter, her friend and my 5 year old little girl were being shot at while visiting a cemetary. I called for the police and they NEVER came!!!! Those idiots could have shot us all dead and been long gone. This is the honest to Gods truth. Not one officer ever showed up. I have a scratch on my vehicle where a bullet ricocheted and hit the side. The side my 5 year old was sitting on. I did need there help. So how much was it that you were wanting to bet.. Idiot!!!!

Morehead has a WalMart, why didnt he just stay home and rob them, that way he would know everybody at the local jail. Sounds to me like this guy is a candidate for a job at NASA(rocket scientist).
