A Harlan man faces indictment for first-degree wanton endangerment for allegedly forcing his way into a residence and kicking a dog.

Wiburn Madon, 56, was arrested by Harlan County Sheriff’s Deputy Mark Saylor on an indictment warrant on Friday.

A previous report states Madon engaged in conduct which created a danger to another on June 12 when he approached the other man in an aggressive manner, cursing and threatening him. Madon headbutted the man, then picked up a metal pipe and approached him swinging the pipe. The victim was able to take the pipe from Madon, and Madon then hit him in the head. The victim then left to obtain an EPO. Once the man left, Madon and his girlfriend forced their way into the home where he assaulted the female inside. Madon also kicked the victim’s dog as he entered the residence. All action was recorded on security cameras.

According to a press release, Madon was indicted for first-degree wanton endangerment, fourth-degree assault and second-degree cruelty to animals.

Madon was lodged in the Harlan County Detention Center on a $2,500 surety bond.
