On the evening of July 28, a 27-year-old man was cooking dinner at his family home in Georgetown. His 25-year-old sister was also there, and she began complaining about the way he was seasoning the chicken. He explained that he knew what he was doing and let her know their grandmother was going to add the seasonings.
According to reports, the woman was unsatisfied with the response, and she told her brother he was a “dumb dog.” He allegedly responded by holding her down on the kitchen table with his body while punching her in the face multiple times. A person whose identity was not disclosed was in the house, and when they heard the ruckus, they reportedly grabbed a loaded firearm and shot a bullet through the ceiling. The woman then reportedly began chasing her brother with a knife. He believed his life was in danger, so he ran to his grandmother’s door. She exited the room and began striking her granddaughter with a broom handle.
After the knife was secured, the incident continued when the man allegedly brought a can of Raid into it, and he and his sister both sprayed each other with the bug killer.
When the police arrived, they were both taken into custody and booked into the Georgetown County Detention Center. The woman has been accused of one count of assault and battery in the third degree. The man is facing one count of assault and battery in the second degree, and one count of assault and battery in the third degree. They were later released on bonds. They both expressed that they intend to press charges against each other.
