VERSHIRE, Vt. -- A Vermont man is behind bars after police say he stabbed his son with a corkscrew over a clogged toilet.

Nazeih Hammouri, 53, of Vershire, faces a first-degree assault charge in connection with the Monday morning stabbing.

Vermont State Police said they were called to Hammouri's home on Parker Road just after midnight and their investigation revealed Hammouri had stabbed his 19-year-old son in the stomach after an argument over a clogged toilet.

Police said Hammouri was drinking. He is being held on $15,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in Orange County Court Monday afternoon.

I think they already probably had bigger issues, the clogged toilet pushed it over the edge.

Well either way you look at it the toilet contributed to him popping his cork, though he may well have already had a screw loose.
