A woman in Evansville is facing charges after an incident on Sunday night where she allegedly used a machete to cut a man. The incident occurred behind a gas station on E. Louisiana Street. According to reports, police responded to find a man with a leg injury caused by the machete. The man stated that he was heading to the gas station to buy a drink when 28-year-old Kayti Carter asked him to get her one as well. It’s believed that when the man explained he didn’t have enough money for both drinks, a “play fight” broke out between them. During the altercation, Carter, armed with a machete, and the man, with a stick, engaged.
