Pepsi Machine Leads Son To Assault Mother
A Pennsylvania man is blaming a vending machine for his arrest earlier this week. According to the "Beaver County Times," police in New Sewickley Township arrested David Huffman on Tuesday for assaulting his mother. Huffman's father told authorities that his son began "flipping out" and eventually threw his mother to the ground. Police eventually found Ethel Huffman lying in bed with an apparent broken wrist. David Huffman went on to admit that a "Pepsi machine at Costco" told him to hurt his mother, adding that he was mad at his mom for smoking drugs. The 33-year-old was taken to the Beaver County Jail on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault and harassment. He is due in court for a preliminary hearing on December 7th.
