Fla. teen allegedly attacks dad for loud snoring

[December 04, 2009]  OLDSMAR, Fla. (AP) -- A Florida teenager has been charged with assaulting his father, reportedly because the man was snoring too loudly.

The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office reported that the teen, 18, first threw a magazine at his father, who was sleeping on a living room couch Tuesday evening. When that didn't work, deputies said the teen pushed his father onto the floor and punched him in the face.

The father was checked out at a nearby hospital as a precaution.

The teen was arrested and charged with domestic battery. He was released from jail Wednesday.
