A Gassville man has been arrested on two felony charges involving an incident between him and his father.  34 year old JUSTIN TIMOTHY MASSEY of Gassville was served with a Circuit Court bench warrant Wednesday afternoon and taken to the Detention Center.

    JUSTIN TIMOTHY MASSEY was incarcerated on charges of:

     Aggravated Assault – Class D Felony
     Terroristic Threatening – Class D Felony

     He was released from detention the same day after posting bond in the amount of $25,000 and will appear in Circuit Court on July 26^th.
