MADISONVILLE-A Madisonville man was arrested late Thursday night after he allegedly threatened to kill a family and then fought with deputies.

Monroe County Sheriff's Deputy Brady Bowers said it was around 10:15 p.m. Jan. 10 when he was told that a man on Short Bark Road was "off his medication" and making a family fear for their lives.

Bowers said he arrived at the house and talked to Kim Sharp, who said Matthew South had thrown something through a window and was threatening to kill her and her family. Bowers said Sharp and her family had locked themselves in a bedroom to hide from South.
