Justin Dean is charged with burglary, strangulation and assault after an arrest citation says he was arrested on Friday.

In a criminal complaint, investigators say at 2 a.m. on August 3, Dean had entered his brother’s house without permission, only for his brother to wake up to find him standing in his bedroom.

When Dean’s brother woke up, investigators say Dean immediately started stabbing him in the testicles with scissors.

Then, police say a physical struggle began, with Dean putting his brother in a chokehold until he nearly lost consciousness before managing to escape.

A witness nearby said she heard a loud bang in the home and Dean’s brother screaming “as if he were being killed,” before seeing Dean run out of the house.

Dean is being held in the Fayette County Detention Center.
