Loudon man charged with assault, evading
 
A Loudon man was taken to Loudon County Jail after police responded to the call of a physical disturbance Friday in the 400 block of Pine Top Street in Loudon.

Dispatched to a dispute between Joshua Alan Underwood, 29, Loudon, and a woman at the residence, Loudon Police Officer James Cogdill spoke with numerous witnesses who spotted Underwood running through the neighborhood, according to the arrest report.

While pursing Underwood, Cogdill spoke with residents in the area, who said a man matching Underwood's description ran toward Smokey Drive and into a forested area near Clyde Street. Officer Bobby Lankford located Underwood and placed him into custody.
 
The woman at the Pine Top Street home told police she picked up Underwood at 4:15 p.m. that day, and he was upset because she was late, Cogdill wrote in the report.
 
"Mr. Underwood grabbed her by the throat and hit her on the right side of her face causing bruising and scratch marks on her neck (and) that's when Mr. Underwood fled on foot," Cogdill wrote.
 
Underwood was charged with domestic assault-misdemeanor, two counts of evading arrest, failure to appear-general sessions, violation of probation and theft of property and held on $26,000 bond.
