A Nicholasville man was arrested Dec. 15 for burglary in the second degree and alcohol intoxication in a public place.

Darrell Slone, 42, of 222 Green St., was reported drunk and forcing his way into a residence where he began to fight, according to a citation released from the Nicholasville Police Department.
