BUTLER, Pa. — A man is facing charges after police said he went after his girlfriend with a machete on a residential Butler street.
Police arrested Jesse Eaton and charged him with terroristic threats after the alleged incident.
According to investigators, the machete was nearly 2 feet long.
According to the criminal complaint, Eaton was upset because his girlfriend had not responded to his calls or text messages.
"The last time I checked this wasn't Somalia or some Third World country. This is not how we act here. You don't run down the street with a machete," said business owner Danya Noose.
"I'm in shock. This is a nice street. There's a school here and kids everywhere," said Butler resident Kelli Hilderbrand.
