A Wallins man turned himself in to police at the Harlan County Justice Center on Wednesday after learning that there was a warrant out for his arrest.

Matt Harris, 22, was arrested and charged with second-degree assault. The charges against Harris stem from a warrant obtained by Christopher Robbins, also of Wallins.

Harris is accused of assaulting Robbins with a dangerous instrument on Feb. 20. He allegedly struck Robbins several times, causing physical injury.

Wallins City Police Chief David Williams served the warrant. Harris was lodged in the Harlan County Detention Center overnight with his bond set at 10 percent of $10,000. He appeared in Harlan District Court on Thursday to be arraigned on the assault charge. Harris was released by Harlan District Court Judge Phillip Hamm on his own recognizance. A preliminary hearing is set for March 7.
