BROOKVILLE, IN — A Brookville Town Councilman and his wife are facing charges in connection with an incident on July 11 at the Riverfront Apartment complex.
62-year-old Charles “Chuck” Campbell was charged Monday with Battery on a Police Officer (Level 6 felony) and resisting law enforcement (Class A misdemeanor).
56-year-old Donna Campbell is also charged with misdemeanor resisting law enforcement.
Franklin County Prosecutor Chris Huerkamp says several Franklin County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the apartment complex on Fairfield Avenue to assist Brookville Police officers who responded to a report of a fight and a possible stabbing.
Deputy Dakota Huntsman says shortly after he arrived, a car drove up and Chuck Campbell got out and came toward the deputies with a wooden club in his hand.
Campbell was ordered to drop the club but he allegedly refused and was taken to the ground by deputies.
At the same time, investigators say Donna Campbell began to interfere with efforts to subdue her husband.
While deputies tried to de-escalate the situation, Chuck Campbell allegedly kicked Huntsman twice in the leg.
Chuck Campbell was arrested and booked into the Franklin County Security Center. He later posted bond and was released.
His initial hearing is set for July 26 in Franklin Circuit Court before Judge Clay Kellerman.
Donna Campbell was not arrested that night and was summoned to appear at an initial hearing on August 26.
Huerkamp says investigations into other incidents that night at the Riverfront Apartment complex continue.
