A Harrison County man arrested in March shortly after his house caught fire was arrested again Tuesday night, this time on attempted murder charges.
According to Harrison County Circuit Court Clerk, Michael King, 47, is charged with attempted murder, assault, wanton endangerment on an officer, and several other charges after allegedly stabbing two people at Ronnie’s Bar and Grill in Cynthiana.

Police responded to the scene, where the two victims said King threatened to kill them. Officers found King at Pike & Walnut. They deployed a taser on King, who had a knife. King was able to disable the taser and got away on foot, eventually throwing the knife at officers. He was tasered again at taken into custody. Officers took King to Harrison Memorial Hospital, where he threw his bed pan filled with urine at officers.
Back on March 12, firefighters got a call just before 2 a.m. from a duplex on Cherokee Drive in Cynthiana. They say the man inside, King, made it out, but his dog was killed.
After further investigation, investigators charged King with four counts of wanton endangerment, one for each person in the neighboring unit, but it’s still unclear why.
