Machete Clash at Publix Parking Lot | San Antonio News

Two men ended up in hot water outside a Publix in Panama City after a violent confrontation sparked by old grudges. James Gay, 35, allegedly rolled up to Everette Krichbaum, 52, in his car, grabbed a machete, and attacked — despite Krichbaum pulling out a hatchet in self-defense. Surveillance confirms Gay initiated the aggression and chose to escalate with a deadly weapon. Gay admitted he knew better but went ahead anyway. Both were injured, but not critically. Krichbaum is jailed on aggravated battery charges with a $50K bond — while Gay faces even harsher charges for using a deadly weapon. A daytime brawl that turned ugly — and it’s far from over.
