Glen Curtis Hughes, 28, of Sissonville, went to his wife's home in Cross Lanes Tuesday evening and threatened her and bystanders with a knife, according to Lt. Bryan Robbins of the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department. When Hughes began dragging his stepson down the street by his arm, Robbins said, a neighbor tried to intervene.

Hughes then pulled a gun out of some nearby bushes and threatened to shoot bystanders, Robbins said.

Hughes ran away, but was arrested at about 10:30 p.m. when he came back to the house and tried to start another fight, Robbins said.

He was charged with domestic battery and brandishing a weapon.

Hughes was in the South Central Regional Jail on Wednesday in lieu of $3,000 bail.
