A Lufkin man who used a sword to cut his father is back behind bars. The Angelina County Sheriff's Office arrested him for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in 2019 after he allegedly got in a fight with his father and used a sword to cut him.

According to a KTRE article, he was arrested on a second-degree felony, with a bond amount of $12,000. The Angelina County Sheriff's Office report from that day states they responded to a disturbance at a home in the 1800 block of FM 706.
