Sebastian police went to an address in the 1700 block of Mistletoe Street.

A man said his son and his son’s cousin, Vonkomarnicki, got in a physical disturbance.

He said the argument was “because Vonkomarnicki kept touching his belongings and taunting him when he asked him to stop.”

The father got them separated, and said his son left to go to a back bedroom.

That, he said, is when Vonkomarnicki got a kitchen knife and started to chase his cousin “as he made threats to kill him and sacrifice him to Satan.”

Other family members gave similar accounts of what occurred, though just the father was quoted in discussing the alleged Satanic sacrifice situation.
