SHEBOYGAN - Sheboygan police busted a marijuana grow operation after being called to an apartment to stop an alleged axe attack.

Police arrested two brothers, ages 38 and 41, as well as the 36-year-old girlfriend of the younger brother, after the incident on the 1600 block of St. Clair Ave. around 6 p.m. Sunday. The girlfriend ran to the police station to tell officers the 41-year-old had struck her boyfriend several times with the axe, which was in a sheath. When police arrived, they surrounded the apartment and called the 38-year-old out. He had a small cut on his leg with some dried blood on it. He denied that anyone else was in the apartment, but the older brother eventually came out.

Police then went into the apartment and found marijuana plants growing throughout. With a search warrant, police took 20 marijuana plants, several large bags of marijuana, a rifle, two shotguns, a pistol and four axes.
