He initially told the officer the woman became upset during an argument and locked herself in the bathroom. He told officers there was no physical altercation with the woman, the report states.

The officer said to the man that he needed him to be honest and tell his side. The man ultimately told the deputy he grabbed two knives from the kitchen and banged them together during the argument, the report states. The deputy asked where he put the knives. The man said he put them back in the kitchen. The officer told the man they had already looked in the kitchen for the knives and they were not there. The man eventually told the officer he put the knives in the laundry room in a black and yellow tub, according to the report.

Officers went back into the residence and went to where the man said the knives were. A deputy located the knives where the man said they would be. The deputy informed the man he was under arrest for suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Bail: $20,000.

Officers arrived and spoke with a man who advised he and the woman had gotten into an argument over money issues.
