ROCKLAND — Two brothers are behind bars after police say one used a stun gun on someone and the other threatened someone with a machete.
Gabriel Grover, 22, and Edward Grover, 24, were arrested Thursday afternoon by officers from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office.
Details about the incident were not immediately available Friday morning, but no one was injured, according to Sheriff Donna Dennison.
Gabriel Grover was charged with criminal use of an electric weapon and assault. His bail was set at $3,500 cash but he remained at the Knox County Jail as of Friday morning. The sheriff said the stun gun was a small one, smaller than what police use and may have been obtained over the Internet.
The youngest Grover was sentenced last year to nine months in jail for assaulting his father with a hammer in June.
Edward Grover was charged with domestic violence assault, obstructing report of a crime, reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon which was a machete, and criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon. No bail was set for Edward Grover and he remained at the jail Friday morning.
Dennison said Detective Dwight Burtis, Deputies Mike Sprague and Paul Pinkham, and Detective Don Murray responded to a domestic assault call in St. George. When they arrived the two brothers and a woman were outside a residence.
The parties were interviewed and the Grovers were arrested, the sheriff said.
The case remains under investigation, she said.
Both men are scheduled to appear in Rockland District Court on Friday afternoon.
