A fight between brothers ends with one behind bars and the other fighting for his life.

The Casey County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene, shortly after 8pm Sunday, about four miles north of Liberty at 194 Walter Huff Rd., after the caller stated the brothers were fighting and an EMS was needed.

Upon arrival, Deputy Smith spoke with 48 year old Mikahl Von Krumrey and detained him pending their investigation.

Donald Propes Jr., was found on the floor, bleeding heavily from severe head trauma, and was not responsive. Casey County EMS determined the injuries were life threatening and Mr. Propes would need to be flown to the UK Trauma Center in Lexington. He was listed in critical condition.

Von Krumrey was charged with Assault-1st Degree and lodged in the Casey County Jail.
