Like When Cory Pushed Alan

Mets draft pick, Jeremy Barfield, 18, was arrested shortly after 8 a.m., when family members reported to authorities that he had pushed his father, Jesse Barfield, 46, down a flight of stairs.

Jesse Barfield was taken to Northwest Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and released, authorities said.

"(Jeremy) and his father had some kind of argument that apparently took place on the stairs in his house," said Harris County Sheriff's Department Lt. John Martin, a spokesman. "The father was lower on the stairs than Jeremy was and ... at some point during argument, Jeremy shoved him and he ended up falling down the stairs and struck his head pretty hard on the floor."

Jeremy Barfield was expected to be charged with a Class A misdemeanor for assault. The Harris County District Attorney's office had accepted charges, Martin said.
