A Bracken County man was arrested Monday and charged with manslaughter after being accused causing the death of his own father.
According to his arrested citation, Bradley Weaver told police he was drinking alcohol with his father on Friday night at their home on Mary Ingles Hwy. in Augusta when he punched the man in the eye.
Weaver said the 71-year-old, Richard Weaver, fell to the floor and Weaver left him there until Sunday afternoon when he then asked a neighbor to call the sheriff’s department.

Weaver is charged with first degree manslaughter.
