MANCHESTER, Iowa (AP) - April 26, 2009 The Delaware County sheriff's office says in a statement Sunday
that 32-year-old Jesse Fierstine of Manchester struck his
63-year-old father, Charles Fierstine, on the head with a
flashlight and a piece of firewood Saturday, then cut the pacemaker
from his chest using a pocketknife.
The statement says the younger Fierstine was charged with
attempted murder.
Charles Fierstine was taken to University of Iowa Hospitals and
Clinics in Iowa City. Officials didn't give details on his
condition Sunday.
The sheriff's office refused to release further details,
referring questions to the county attorney's office, which was
closed for the weekend. Online court records in the case were not
yet available and no attorney could be located for Jesse Fierstine.
