Aggravated battery charge for sibling after drinking session turns violent

GILLIAM, La. - A 54-year-old man stabbed his 63-year-old brother during an argument in their kitchen over a can of pork and beans, police said Wednesday.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Chadwick said the suspect was booked Tuesday on one count of aggravated battery.

Chadwick said the brother was treated at a medical center for stab wounds in his left arm and shoulder blade.

Chadwick quoted Deputy Jairo Rivera as saying the two brothers had been drinking.

Rivera said the suspect picked up a kitchen knife after his brother threw a punch at him but missed.

I shot my brother in the face with a bean. It drew blood and missed his eye by about a half inch. He should've ducked.

Where was mom and dad in all this. Another typical case of parental neglect. I like pork and beans as much as the next person.....except maybe those two.

Mom was in the kitchen making dinner, Dad was at work, as god intended. Jimbo was taunting me, saying I couldn't hit him if I tried. I tried, I hit him. It was one of the few times I was waterboarded after being given forty lashes while strapped to the mainmast. I'm just lucky I wasn't keelhauled or drawn-and-quartered. After all, I could have put an eye out.
