Unalaska, AK – A 40-year-old man is being held by the Department of Public Safety after allegedly attacking his roommate with a chair to get him to stop snoring.

Alfred Tucker was arrested for first degree assault Thursday, after officers received a call from his residence and found Tucker's roommate, Ivan Sady Cantor-Rincon, with contusions and blood on his face and upper body and a missing tooth. A third roommate, Kevin Smith, told officers he saw Tucker pull Rincon off the bed where he was sleeping, throw him on the floor and beat him on the back and head with a metal chair. Smith said he got the chair away from Tucker and into another room, but returned to find Tucker attacking Rincon with another, wooden, chair.

Tucker says he didn't attack Rincon. He's being held in lieu of $20,000 bail.
