Stewart, of Milton, was arrested on Thursday for an incident that allegedly happened Wednesday evening.

Stewart came out of the house with an arm raised holding the machete ― which had the word “kindness” written on it. One of the neighbors stepped in front of the other to block the blade and suffered a half-inch cut on his left hand.

Florida man – ’nuff said.
