A man was arrested March 12 after he allegedly threatened his mother in the Ingle’s parking lot in Madisonville.

Madisonville Police Officer Olivia Hill said it was around 5:30 p.m. when she went to the store on Highway 411 and talked to a woman who said her son, Joshua Shell, would not get out of her car and had threatened her.

Hill said she saw the woman’s car sitting in the parking lot with a man inside of it. She said the man was Shell and she told him to get out of the car, he did, and she then placed him in the back of her patrol car.

Officer Travis Gunter went into the store to talk to the mother who said she and her son were in the car together on Englewood Road when he allegedly said, “I’m going to knock the (expletive) out of you.” When they got to Ingles, he reportedly said the same thing again.

The woman said she went into the store, told a worker about the threat and 911 was called.

Hill said she then got Shell out of her car and was going to arrest him, but when another officer attempted to search him, Shell took off running between cars but was caught quickly and taken to the ground.

Hill said Shell put up a fight, but they managed to get him handcuffed and back into her patrol car.

Shell, 37, with no address listed, was charged with assault by domestic violence, resisting arrest and evading arrest.
