LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - Some tense moments for a social worker, after police say a man pointed a gun towards her while she was conducting an investigation Wednesday.
The Laurel County sheriff's office arrested 20-year-old James Johnson.
He's charged with robbery, wanton endangerment, and assault.

Johnson was later arrested.
