Town in fear of teenage brothers?

(CBS/AP) WIMBLEDON, N.D. - Residents of the North Dakota town of Wimbledon are at odds with a pair of brothers who some say are cultivating an atmosphere of fear in the community.

Eighteen-year-old Billy Deese is charged with terrorizing after allegedly threatening on Facebook to kill the town's 216 residents. His 19-year-old brother, Cody, faces an aggravated assault charge for allegedly knocking an elderly neighbor unconscious.

The younger boy, Billy, also also faces an earlier terrorizing charge for allegedly threatening to kill a city councilman.

The Forum newspaper reports that the brothers also have convictions ranging from assault to theft.

The Deeses' mother, Barb Case, disputes the allegations. She calls the charges against her sons a "witch hunt." She says her family has been treated unfairly since moving to the city three years ago.

Billy Deese is schedule to stand trial in May.
