Teen Arrested After Hitting Her Father With Piece of Concrete

Authorities said a Dubuque teen hit her father in the head with a piece of concrete during a dispute. 18 year old Brianna Grassel was arrested Monday on a charge of domestic assault with injury. A report says her father, 57 year old Thomas Grassel, arrived home at 7 a.m. Monday when he went to tell Brianna Grassel to turn down her music. He reported that his daughter grew upset and eventually came at him and punched him in the face, causing a bruise and cut near his eye. He grabbed her by the throat, pushed her away and went downstairs. She then followed him outside, picked up a piece of broken concrete and hit him in the head with it, causing a bleeding wound. Officers reported seeing a broken piece of concrete near the front door. Documents state that Brianna Grassel admitted to hitting her father in the head with an item but stated it was not a piece of concrete.
