Brian Barrett assaults, spits on, and tackles son to ground during argument

38-year-old Brian Barrett had an altercation with his father, Preston Barrett, on Seifried Street Thursday morning.

He walked to the stairs once they began cursing each other, and Brian stood up, walked over to him, and spit on him. Then, he said Brian charged at him, so he punched him in the face repeatedly in self-defense, fearing for his safety. Brian tackled him to the ground before his mother was able to split up the scuffle. Preston provided video evidence corroborating his story, and they deemed Brian the primary aggressor. He was taken into custody for domestic assault.
