A man from unincorporated Antioch is recovering after being slashed in his face with a large knife by a family member.

Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies responded about 12:25 a.m. Wednesday, March 13, 2024 to the block of 21200 Route 173, unincorporated Antioch for a domestic battery in progress. Lake County Sheriff’s 911 telecommunicators were able to gather information that a knife was actively being used in the battery, and sheriff’s telecommunicators alerted responding deputies of this information. Sheriff’s deputies arrived and immediately were able to de-escalate the situation.




Sheriff’s deputies determined a 45-year-old man, who lives at the same address, had been slashed across the face with a knife. The victim sustained significant facial injuries. Sheriff’s deputies summoned an ambulance and the victim was transported to an area hospital for medical treatment.

Preliminary investigation shows the victim and a family member, Aaron Locklear, 54, of the same address, got into a verbal argument. The verbal argument became increasingly heated, and Locklear produced a knife with an approximate eight-inch blade. Locklear slashed the victim across the right side of his face, causing a very serious laceration from near his eye, extending to his lip.

Locklear was arrested and transported to an area hospital for treatment to a finger, as he was also cut while allegedly committing the battery with the knife. He was treated and released back into the custody of sheriff’s deputies.
