Sumit Dhakal remained in jail after he failed to post a $1,500 bail during a hearing on Monday morning before Superior Court Associate Judge Kenneth L. Govendo.
Dhakal was charged with disturbing the peace, assault and battery and assault with a dangerous weapon and his preliminary hearing was set for April 4 at 9 a.m.
Detective Catherine B. Pangelinan said the Dhakals came home from a party around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday with their son and his two friends.
When Dhakal learned that the friends would sleep over, he got angry, the detective stated.
Someone called the police who then advised their son’s friends to leave the Dhakal’s residence, which they did.
A few hours later, the police received another call from the wife after Dhakal confronted her over the situation.
He suddenly turned violent, police were told.
Pangelinan said Dhakal was fine after a police unit came to their house but he got “really mad later on,” based on his wife’s account.
“At about 6 a.m., the angered Dhakal went into their bedroom and began breaking a black shelf and threw a broken piece of the shelf toward [the wife[. The broken piece struck her left foot causing a scratch,” the detective said in her sworn statement.
“Hearing the noise coming from his parents’ room, the son came into the room to stop his father from harming his mother, but Dhakal punched him five times on the back of the head and once on the face, causing his nose to bleed,” she added.
Dhakal had blood on his chest when police officers arrived at the scene.
But his wife said it was their son’s blood from the beatings he got from his father.
