Man attacked brother over bed sheets

A Florida man told deputies that he was attacked and threatened by his brother, who was upset about his bed sheets, officials said.

Eric Ortiz was arrested in Deltona on Monday on charges of aggravated assault. According to an incident report, Ortiz woke his brother, wanting to know who changed the sheets on his bed.



The brother told deputies that Ortiz struck him and made threats. Eric Ortiz told deputies he had been hanging out with a few girls the night before and his brother got jealous, starting an argument.

The brother, Jose Ortiz, told the deputy he was asleep when his brother woke him up about the sheets and began to threaten him. Eric Ortiz also punched his brother in the chest, deputies said. And though Jose Ortiz didn’t want to press charges and wasn’t hurt, Eric Ortiz was arrested on a charge of domestic battery anyway.
