Both men live together in Des Moines and both are in their 50s. The two brothers got into an argument because one brother began nagging the other brother about eating too much PBJ. The one brother had eaten three peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in one sitting and then began preparing a fourth sandwich less than an hour later. The other brother began lecturing the PBJ-lover about being lazy and about over-eating.
The argument escalated until the PBJ-eating brother allegedly pulled a folding knife on his nagging brother and brandished it in his face. The accused brother was arrested and charged with domestic abuse with a weapon.
