A 32-year-old man is behind bars after allegedly threatening his brother with a knife at their Kalispell area home earlier this month.  

Erick Navarijo faces one count of felony assault with a weapon in Flathead County District Court following his Jan. 2 arrest at a home on Tamarack Way. Authorities set his bail at $40,000, but he is being held in the county jail at the request of the Department of Homeland Security.  

The victim, Navarijo's brother, told Flathead County Sheriff's Office deputies that the fight broke out during a night of drinking, according to court documents. He said he had recently invited his brother to Montana to work construction with him.
