AUSABLE — Two Keeseville stepbrothers are facing criminal charges after they allegedly assaulted their father and one of them damaged household items during a dispute over drinking alcohol.
State Police in Keeseville received a report early Saturday that two teens had been in a fight with their father and had damaged items inside their own home.
At about 4:49 a.m., Brett A. Harris, 17, was subsequently charged with one felony count of criminal mischief, three misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief and misdemeanor assault.
Kaleb J. Wood, Harris' 16-year-old stepbrother, was also charged with misdemeanor assault.
State Police allege that Harris and Wood both assaulted their father during an argument about the two teens' consumption of alcohol. Harris allegedly broke an oven range in the home, which was valued at more than $250 and therefore warranted a felony charge, as well as other items in the home.
Both teens were taken to Clinton County Jail, where Harris was being held Saturday without bail and Wood was being held for lack of $250 bail or $500 bond.
