Cody Wynn, 32, was arrested on an indictment warrant by Kentucky State Police Trooper Brandon Burton on Wednesday. The two-count indictment was handed down by the grand jury on July 18.

Dean said when he went into the residence, Cody Wynn hit him in the head with a metal pipe. Rachel Wynn advised police Cody Wynn became angry for an unknown reason and began beating the dog. When she tried to get him to stop, Wynn began screaming at her. She said she begged Wynn not to hit Dean with the pipe, but that did not stop him.
The citation states Emergency Medical Services was called to the scene, but Dean and Rachel Wynn both refused treatment. Dean had visible injuries to his right hand and the back of his head and stated he had pain in his right leg. Rachel Wynn stated she was OK but complained of side pain from a previous physical domestic incident.
