Nicholas Morrow, 19, of 15063 Snow Memorial Highway north of Brooksville, was charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence, criminal mischief and indecent exposure.

At that point, Morrow threw a rock at one deputy, police records say. He then charged both deputies and fought with them as they tried to arrest him by kicking and punching them.
