A North Platte man was jailed on felony charges after a father-son dispute turned violent.

Investigator John Deal says officers responded to the disturbance in the 2200 block of West Fourth Street at around 7:57 p.m., on Thursday.

According to Deal, Dale Husemoller lives at the residence, which is owned by his father Ronald Husemoller.

Police say the elder Husemoller went to the house to contact Dale about not paying his rent.

Witnesses say an argument took place at the front door and Dale attempted to shut the door and end the conversation.

At that time, Deal says Ronald put his foot in the door and both men ended up in a wrestling match in the front yard.  When Ronald got into his vehicle to leave, Dale allegedly went into the house, retrieved a baseball bat, came back outside and began striking his dad’s truck.

Ronald became upset and exited the vehicle, at which time investigators say Dale struck Ronald in the arm with the bat.  Deal said Ronald had injuries consistent with being struck with a bat.

In the end, Dale was jailed and charged with 2nd-degree assault, use of a weapon to commit a felony and criminal mischief.

Ronald was cited for trespassing and disturbing the peace, and released.
