MILIPITAS – A domestic dispute in Milpitas turned violent last Wednesday night, resulting in the arrest of a 41-year-old man.

Officers responded to a residence in the 1600 block of Tahoe Drive at about 9:30 p.m. July 27, at which time they discovered a pair of brothers who had been involved in a verbal altercation that had turned physical.

One of the brothers, identified as Sean Leroy Munshower Sr., had allegedly brandished a knife at his 44-year-old brother.

Sgt. Darryl Sequeira said Munshower had reportedly been drinking earlier in the day and was located in front of the residence by arresting officers.

“At the time of his arrest [he] was not in possession of the knife,” Sequeira said. “However, a knife was recovered inside the residence.”

Munshower was booked into Santa Clara County jail on charges of brandishing a weapon.

Milpitas police have not released information on the victim’s condition or whether or not his injuries required hospitalization.
