A Bozeman man is being held on $10,000 bond after his 75-year-old father reluctantly admitted to police that his son punched him in the eye Friday night.
Randolph Bennedict Stein, 43, appeared "agitated and upset" that police came to his home on North Fifth Avenue around 7 p.m. Saturday after a neighbor reported hearing someone yelling there, according to the charging document.
The man's father, who is on oxygen, told police his son had been yelling at him but could not say why. When police asked the father about the bruise under his left eye, he looked away and told them "he had an accident."
The victim, who is "several inches shorter ... and approximately 100 pounds lighter" than his son, told police he is dependent on his son to care for him. He eventually told police what had allegedly happened.
Stein was charged with elder abuse and is being held at the Gallatin County Detention Center.
