A 69-year-old Newaygo County man, Darrell Dakan, of White Cloud, has been charged with killing his 38-year-old son, Joshua.
The elder Dakan allegedly accused his son of leaving a cable across his driveway, which damaged his pickup truck.
They argued and the father grabbed a rifle and aimed it at his son, according to testimony.
The father claims he shot him in self defense. He has been denied bond.
