     Chances are, at some point in your life, your family has driven you almost crazy over something. It could have been due to almost anything, politics, religion, sports or even which nightly news program to watch. However, no matter how bad it gets, you should never do like Wendel Gene Seaman is alleged to have done and attach the offending member of your family with a machete.

     Responding to a call they received on Sunday, September 7th, officers with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office found Lloyd Seaman, father of Wendel Gene Seaman, with a cut across the back of his neck. Interviewing the father, officers determined that while he was looking inside his refrigerator the younger Seaman attacked his father from behind with a machete, slicing him across the back of his neck. Seaman then allegedly tried to tie up his father with duck tape. However, the father managed to escape and ran outside. The the younger Seaman still had the machete and was threatening to kill his father before he was stopped by his uncle.

     Before he could be questioned by local officers, the younger Seaman ran back into the house, grabbed a rifle and fled the scene. However, seaman was apprehended by the Highway Patrol the next day outside of Monticello in Jefferson county. Seaman faces charges of attempted felony murder, grand theft motor vehicle and grand theft firearm.
