BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - An apparent fight over rent money has sent one man to the hospital and his brother to jail.
Sheriff's officials said it happened just before 9 p.m. at an apartment complex on Pacific Street in East Bakersfield.

Carlos Rivera has non-life threatening injuries, but Jaime Rivera was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon.
