83-year-old charged in Mo. hammer attackMonday, July 21, 2008FARBER, Mo. (AP) -- Police say an 83-year-old man is jailed on charges that he attacked two men with a hammer in a northeast Missouri park. Audrain County Sheriff Stuart Miller says deputies were called to a city park in Farber early Saturday where a fight had broken out. There they found Edward Kempker and two assault victims, one of them with a broken wrist. Both suffered bumps and bruises. Miller says the elderly man was charged Monday with first- and second- degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon and armed criminal action. Kempker is jailed in Audrain County on $100,000 bond. A probable cause statement said Kempker told deputies that he wanted to "put the hammer to" intruders who had repeatedly broken into his home.
