A man was arrested after allegedly forcing his way into his neighbor’s home with a hatchet and fighting with her nephews in south Tulsa on Wednesday night.

Brandon Keith Post, 33, was booked into the Tulsa Jail on complaints of first-degree burglary and three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon after a felony conviction. Bail was set at $100,000.

A woman told police that Post, who lives next to her in the 5800 block of East 80th Street, knocked on her door shortly after 10 p.m. When she opened the door, he forced himself inside the residence while wielding a hatchet, according to an arrest report.

The woman’s nephews reportedly heard her scream for help and ran to her aid. She said they managed to push Post outside and that he began threatening to kill them, the report states.

A fight ensued, and one of the nephews reportedly grabbed the hatchet from the man’s hand. Post allegedly ran back to his house and threatened to get a gun and shoot them.

Post surrendered to responding officers without incident.

State records show several felony convictions for Post in Tulsa County, including domestic assault and battery by strangulation, domestic abuse, and multiple DUIs. He most recently finished a suspended sentence for DUI in April.
