3/4/13 - A man slashed a woman with a machete at Burroughâs Tavern in the early morning hours last Friday after a fight with another man over his ex-wife. Sheriff Bob Bezotte tells says deputies were dispatched to the establishment just after midnight. Police say two men had an argument that turned into a fistfight earlier that night. One of the men, identified as 30-year-old Ben Cameron of Howell Township, was apparently fighting with an unnamed 36-year-old man who was at the restaurant with Cameronâs ex-wife. The fight was broken up and Cameron left the restaurant. However, according to police he returned about 20 minutes later with a machete. A female employee tried to stop him from attacking the other man and was slashed on the hand. She was treated at the scene for her injury. Cameron was found by police in the parking lot of the establishment and taken into custody for aggravated assault and possession of a dangerous weapon. He is now out on bond and will go before a judge within a week. Bezotte says although searches of his home, his car, and the surrounding areas have not produced the weapon, there are enough witnesses to justify the dangerous weapons charge. (TD)
