Man arrested for assault

A 22-year-old Tavernier man was arrested Tuesday after threatening a family member with a baseball bat.

Camren Lee Carter was charged with aggravated assault.

Deputy Casey Matthews responded to a residence on Adobe Casa Court in Key Largo at approximately 10:53 p.m.

Cater was sitting on the rear bumper of a sport-utility-vehicle with a machete at his feet.

Carter stated he got into an argument with his father-in-law and grabbed a baseball bat. The father-in-law was able to wrestle the bat away from Carter.

Carter then retrieved a machete from the yard and re-entered the residence while walking toward the father-in-law in a threatening manner, according to the father-in-law.

There were no serious injuries reported.

Carter was taken to jail.
