AMSTERDAM, N.Y. - The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office says two people have been arrested on Tuesday after one man threatened his brother with a shotgun for not doing the dishes.

Deputies, along with members of the New York State Police, responded to a call from 21-year-old Harold Lampkin Jr., of 154 Morris Road in Amsterdam, who stated that after he had not done the dishes by the time his brother 19-year-old Adam Lampkin had told him, Adam threatened him with a shotgun and ordered him to leave the house.

Officers say a physical fight then ensued, during which Harold armed himself with a bolt-action rifle, which he then threatened Adam with. 

Finally, both brothers engaged in a struggle over the bolt-action rifle, which resulted in the rifle discharging a live round within the living room of the home.

Both Lampkin brothers were arrested and arraigned in the Town of Florida Court where they were remanded to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility. They are charged with Menacing 2nd-degree and Reckless Endangerment 2nd-degree.
