Police Blotter: Murrells Inlet man accused of stabbing sister

A deputy met with a  19-year-old Murrells Inlet woman at the hospital Aug. 1 where she was being treated for a stab wound allegedly caused by her twin brother.
The officer also talked with the mother of the twins who said she is scared of both of them because they have bi-polar disorder.
She said the siblings were in each other’s face calling each other names when the female tried to hit her brother.
He retaliated by spitting in her face, their mom said.
The fighting stopped but resumed later in the evening. At this point the twins were throwing punches but the woman’s boyfriend had also joined in.
Their mother tried to break them up and was hit in the head twice by someone, the report states.
During the ruckus, the man stabbed his sister in the arm, according to their mother.
The male sibling was taken to jail, charged with assault and battery, second degree.
