DANVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Police in Kentucky say a sheriff’s deputy was injured when a rock thrown from a moving vehicle went through his windshield and struck him in the face.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reports the sheriff’s office identified the deputy as Philip Dean. He was traveling to investigate reports that rocks were being thrown at trucks just outside of Danville.
