Two North Naples siblings are accused of attacking deputies and threatening them with a machete.

Francy Cardenas-Reyes, 23, and Lucinda Cardenas-Reyes, 25, of the 1100 block of South Alhambra Circle, were arrested Tuesday by Collier County sheriff’s deputies in the 4500 block of Boabadilla Street.

According to arrest reports, deputies arrived on scene in reference to a disturbance. While investigating, deputies said they determined that no physical violence had taken place and that it had only been verbal.

Deputies said they began walking back to their patrol car when Francy started walking fast in a determined and aggressive manor with his hands behind his back toward the deputies.

Deputies drew their firearms, reports stated, and began ordering Francy to show his hands. He ignored their commands and began shouting obscenities, deputies reported.

One of the deputies said he then caught a glimpse of a large machete in Francy’s hands.

Francy approached deputies and yelled: “I got a machete (expletive),” according to reports. Deputies said they ordered him to drop the machete, at which time Francy stated “I’ll kill you gringos!”

Francy then dropped the machete and ran toward the deputies with clenched fists and tried to attack but was taken to the ground and then tased in the abdomen, according to reports.

While deputies tried to gain control of Francy, they said his sister Lucinda then punched one of the deputies in the left arm. Lucinda was kicked to the ground and also arrested.

Francy faces a felony charge of aggravated assault on law enforcement and resisting arrest with violence while his sister Lucinda faces a charge of battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest without violence.
