Father, son, knife and bat vs. a neighbor and his belt
When police arrived in the first block of Gerlaugh in the Burkhardt neighborhood, there were plenty of victims and witnesses to tell them what they saw.
A father. A son. A baseball bat. And a knife. All of those against a neighbor and his belt.
According to witnesses, the 23-year-old son showed up at the neighbor’s house armed with a knife. The young man was yelling, screaming, cursing, making threats and waving a knife. The neighbor took off his belt and gave the young man a wallop.
The young man left but returned a short time later with his father, toting a baseball bat the father used on the neighbor’s fence. While the father was beating up the fence, the son whacked another neighbor on the back of the head while the man’s back was turned. The young man then shoved a 19-year-old woman to the ground and threatened to rape her.
All the while, witnesses said, the father was yelling he was going to beat everyone.
Then the son told his father to shoot the neighbor.
When police finally settled things down, father and son were hauled off to the county lockup to face a plethora of potential charges.
As a side note, in 2004 the father pleaded no contest to three felony charges of ethnic intimidation and was sentenced to five years of community control. One year later that sentence was terminated.
