MENASHA - A man was arrested after a cabbage-related confrontation ended with shots being fired at a house on Abbey Avenue, the Menasha Police Department said Tuesday in a news release.

A 55-year-old man told police he confronted his 31-year-old son on Sunday about cooking cabbage late at night, which resulted in the son beating his father and threatening to kill him with a knife, police said.

Neighbors who heard the struggle saw the 31-year-old wielding a meat cleaver and a rope shortly before he fled the scene, police said. Then, early Monday morning, nearby residents, including the 55-year-old, heard gunshots outside the house and later found bullet holes in a vehicle and a garage.

Police eventually found the suspect and he was arrested without incident. He was taken to the Winnebago County Jail and booked on charges of battery, disorderly conduct, recklessly endangering safety and criminal damage to property. Police haven't publicly identified the suspect.

Police recovered a firearm of the same caliber as the weapon used in the shooting. No other suspects are being sought by police.
