A Gwinnett County man was arrested Thursday after allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend’s uncle with a machete, authorities said.
Barry Andrew Webb, 29, of Lawrenceville, faces 16 charges, including 13 felonies, in connection with an incident in the 2000 block of Planters Cove Drive on New Year’s Eve, Gwinnett authorities said.
When police arrived at the home, a woman told them that Webb, who was her niece's ex-boyfriend, kicked opened the door and attacked her brother with a machete, a police incident report said.
Webb is accused of striking the man on the right side of his face before chasing the woman through the house, the report said. Webb’s 7-year-old son witnessed the incident.
Another family member confronted Webb and yelled at him to get out of the house, which he did, the report said.
The man cut by the machete was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
Webb’s charges include four counts of aggravated assault, five counts of felony probation violation and possession of methamphetamine, jail records show. He remains in jail without bond.
