On April 26, 2010 the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office responded to Renown
Regional Medical Center on a report of a person who had been attacked with a
Scythe.

Detectives interviewed the victim and witness who stated the victim had been
attacked by his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend Kevin Overton when they responded to
his residence to collect the woman’s belongings. The victim stated he was first
confronted by Overton as he sat in a vehicle, then the physical altercation moved
outside the vehicle. The woman attempted to separate Overton from the victim
when Overton retrieved a Scythe from his vehicle and swung it at the victim
several times cutting him.

Both the victim and his girlfriend returned to their vehicle and attempted to drive
away, Overton swung the scythe at the vehicle puncturing the trunk and breaking
out the driver’s side window.

Overton was located at his residence and taken into custody.
