A Leitchfield police sergeant is pleading not guilty on several charges from an incident in June. Dennis Newton Jr. and another officer were called to a fire which contained ammunition. Two men removed from the home forced their way back in causing one of the men to be tased. Newton is indicted on charges including assault and terrorist threatening for causing intentional physical damage. The sergeant is currently on leave without pay and is scheduled to appear in court again next month.
