A Galena man faces charges following a domestic disturbance near Baxter Springs yesterday.

 Deputies from the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office were called to the scene on a roadway outside of Baxter Springs around 4pm. There they found 27-year-old Justin Brown and his girlfriend who has allegedly been involved in an argument while in a car. When the vehicle stopped, the female exited the car and began walking. Brown reportedly chased her down, nearly striking her with the car. Brown then got out of the car and the two engaged in a physical altercation. Brown is then suspected of forcing the woman back into the vehicle and attempting to drive off.

Deputies took Brown into custody and transported him to the Cherokee County Jail on allegations of Aggravated Kidnapping, Aggravated Assault, Domestic Battery and Disorderly Conduct.
