Jefferson County Public School principal Leroy Littles Sr. was arrested Monday on his first day on the job.
Littles Sr. started his first day at Olmstead Academy North middle school on Monday; the very same day, Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputies served a warrant for his arrest, according to WDRB. The warrant was issued by the Bullitt County Attorney’s office in relation to charges of fourth degree assault and third degree terroristic threatening.
Bullitt County Sheriff chief deputy Alex Payne confirmed that the charges are related to a domestic incident that occurred on Christmas Day 2022, WDRB noted. Littles reportedly pulled up to his alleged girlfriend’s home, as she was leaving the property with a man believed to be her ex-boyfriend. Littles Sr. allegedly assaulted the man in question, leaving him with injuries to the face and head.
