  Johnston man arrested after sword attack web posted November 4, 2009 JOHNSTON – A Johnston man has been arrested after attacking his wife’s son after he barged into the family home on Monday night only to be confronted by the father with a sword. The first report to officers stated the son was attacked with a chainsaw, but after officers arrived they found the son with a large gash to his left hand caused by a double edge sword and bleeding heavily. According to incident reports, the father told officers, “he intended to kill the victim for disrespecting his mother, but missed”. Johnston and Edgefield Police as well as Sheriff’s Deputies arrived on the scene a short time later to secure the scene and allow EMS workers to treat the injured man. The sword was taken into custody as evidence. Cheynne Hill, 44, was arrested and charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, but Police Chief Chris Aston said Tuesday that the case is still under investigation and charges could be pending on both men. “We’re still trying to interview everyone involved,” Chief Aston said. Chief Aston said they were unsure of how the 29-year-old victim gained access to the home and what his intentions were. “Right now we don’t know why he was there and what took place.” Aston said the case is still under investigation and additional charges could be filed and could include both parties involved. “Until we get all sides of what happened, we still need to interview the mother, we can’t determine what his (the son’s) intentions were.” The victim was transported to Aiken Regional Hospital for treatment of the injury to his hand after losing a great deal of blood from the wound. Hill was still being held Tuesday on the single charge. Chief Aston said his lead investigator Lamaz Robinson was in charge of the case and would be able to provide additional information when the investigation had been completed. © Copyright 2009
