A Carrollton man is charged with assault following an altercation with a police officer.

According to the a report from the Carrollton Police Department, on February 11, an officer arrived at Wood Shed Lumber Company to speak to one of the owners in regards to her minor son operating a motor vehicle on the highway without a valid driver’s license.
