A Belton man was indicted by a Bell County grand jury Wednesday on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Belton police responded to a call Aug. 18 that two people were fighting. They arrived at a residence to find Kevin Hayle Reedy, 54, of Belton, and his brother, both bloody, fighting on the floor. Near them was a large, bloody kitchen knife, an arrest affidavit stated.

"(Reedy) said he was tired of his brother's verbal abuse," First Assistant District Attorney Murff Bledsoe said.

Reedy's brother had knife wounds on his face and hands; Reedy wasn't injured. Reedy appeared to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol, the affidavit stated.

Also on Wednesday, a grand jury indicted Cedriz Alphonso Berkley Jr., 28, of Killeen, on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

On Aug. 10, police were dispatched to a residence in Harker Heights, where they found a man shot in the leg.

He told police that a woman invited him to the house. When he arrived, a man he knows as "T-Man" told him to sit. When he refused, T-Man hit him in the face and shot him, the victim said.

A police database showed T-Man to be Berkley, and the victim identified Berkley in a photograph as the man who shot him, an arrest affidavit stated.

Police sent the victim to Scott & White Hospital in Temple. Doctors found him to have a shattered femur and removed a bullet from his right leg.

"The investigation is ongoing as to others that may be involved in this," Bledsoe said.
