A Beaver County man told police a Pepsi machine "made him" assault his 68-year-old mother Tuesday.
David L. Huffman, 33, of New Sewickley Township, is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and harassment.
New Sewickley police were called to Huffman's address about 2 p.m. for an altercation involving Huffman and his mother, Ethel Huffman.
According to the criminal complaint filed by New Sewickley officer Gregory Carney, Daniel Huffman told police his son was "flipping out" and had attacked his mother.
Carney said he and police Chief Ron Leindecker found David Huffman in the kitchen. Ethel Huffman was lying in a bed suffering from an apparent broken wrist.
Ethel Huffman's wrist, Carney wrote, had an "obvious deformity." She told police that she was arguing with her son when he threw her to the ground.
Carney said he spoke to David Huffman, who claimed "that the Pepsi machine at Costco made him hurt his mother," court documents state.
David Huffman, Carney wrote, repeatedly apologized for his actions at the township police department. His mother was taken to a hospital for treatment.
David Huffman was taken to the Beaver County Jail.
