Crossville Police say a man was arrested after attacking his older brother with an axe handle and it was reportedly over a woman.
City units were dispatched to the Executive Inn on Friday evening where they found the 43-year-old male victim. The man said his brother, 33-year-old Nathan Daniel Sallas, became angry after seeing the victim talking to Nathan’s ex-girlfriend in the motel parking lot.
Police observed surveillance footage of the incident which confirmed the victim’s story that his brother, Nathan, had held up a knife while looking at the victim, and a short time later Nathan hit his brother in the leg with an axe handle.
Nathan Daniel Sallas was charged with Aggravated Domestic Assault and transported to the Cumberland County Justice Center. He has also been banned from the Executive Inn.
