At about 1 a.m. Tuesday, Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to the 900 block of Bayview Road, just south of Lake Worth Road near Jog Road, to a domestic disturbance.

De Leon Pimentel’s 80-year-old wife told investigators she and her husband began arguing at about 9 p.m. Monday — her birthday — in their living room. She said she went to bed and was awakened shortly afterward by her husband.

According to the report, De Leon Pimentel was on top of his wife, grabbed her arms and said he wanted to have sex with her. If she didn’t, "he would cut her arms off," deputies wrote.

His wife told investigators she was able to push him off her, they argued more and then he left the room.

A roomate in the residence told investigators she saw De Leon Pimentel re-enter the bedroom shortly after the fight with a "large machete in his hand." De Leon Pimentel’s wife said she never saw the machete when he returned, and another roommate said she didn’t see a machete but heard the arguing.

De Leon Pimentel’s wife said her husband ended up leaving the residence and she was able to lock him out of their home until deputies arrived.

Investigators said alcohol was involved in the altercation.

This isn’t the first time De Leon Pimentel has been accused of threatening violence with a machete.

In 2016, West Palm Beach police said De Leon Pimentel, then 82, attacked a 42-year-old man on Southern Boulevard near Lake Avenue. The man told deputies he came to visit De Leon Pimentel and others in the apartment when they got into an argument and the 2-foot-long machete was pulled out.

Police said De Leon Pimentel struck the man on the head with the flat side of the weapon. The 42-year-old was able was able to get hold of De Leon Pimentel’s arms and to control him until police arrived.

The man said the 82-year-old appeared to be drunk.
