Pa. man arrested while trying to visit dad in jail

(CBS/AP) SOMERSET, Pa. - Police say a Pennsylvania man who went to visit his father in jail ended up joining him there.

A chance for some father-son bonding?

Authorities say Charles Meinhart Jr., 24, was arrested Sunday after showing up drunk at the Somerset County Jail where he cursed, used obscene gestures and threatened to fight officials.

Police told the Daily American of Somerset that Meinhart tired to slip his handcuffed hands from behind his back and kicked at police who opened the back door of a police cruiser door. The Daily American reports that he was committed to jail in lieu of $10,000 straight bail.

The younger Meinhart faces a preliminary hearing Nov. 22 on aggravated assault, public drunkenness and other charges. It was not immediately clear why his father is in jail.
