GILLETTE (WNE) — A 58-year-old man who reported he’d been stabbed in the head ended up being arrested for reckless endangerment early Thursday morning.

Shortly before 5 a.m., the man called the Sheriff’s Office to report that his sister, 56, had stabbed him in the head with a machete.

He said he took the machete away from her and broke it, said Undersheriff Quentin Reynolds.

Deputies responded to the mobile home in the 6500 block of South Douglas Highway. The man had blood on his face, head and neck. He was treated for a cut on the left back part of his head, Reynolds said.

The sister told deputies that her brother was talking to his wife on the phone, and she told him to get off the phone. He started yelling at her and approached her aggressively in the kitchen, Reynolds said, and she became concerned for her safety.

She said she grabbed a machete from the wall to defend herself. She had a cut on her left palm and right ankle, and there was blood on her clothes.

Investigators determined the man was the aggressor and arrested him for reckless endangerment, Reynolds said.
