A Mississippi man was charged with assaulting his neighbor with a knife after a dispute over the volume of the music he was listening to.
Clinton police say they were called at approximately 10:10 p.m. Thursday to an apartment complex. There they discovered that Cornelius Henderson, 28, of Clinton, had barricaded himself into his apartment and a female neighbor injured.
