An 89-year-old Jacksonville man, Kenon Lee Ferguson faces charges of aggravated battery after a dispute with his 59-year-old son-in-law, Joel Edward Perry, over watching television. Ferguson reportedly told his son-in-law that “you don't own anything in this house,” to which Perry allegedly replied, "do something about it".
Apparently deciding to do just that, Ferguson went to his bedroom and retrieved his .38 caliber pistol. After this, the fight between Ferguson and Perry escalated. At some point Ferguson fired off a round, hitting Perry in the leg. Officers arrived around 7:30 p.m., and took Ferguson into custody.
Perry and his wife, Ferguson's daughter, were living at the residence when the incident occurred. However, records show that the the house is in Ferguson's name.
