Nancy Kerrigan’s brother Mark Kerrigan was just arraigned on assault charges for attacking his father Daniel yesterday in Boston. Mark pleaded not guilty and is being held on $10,000.

Mark got into a fight with his father Sunday over telephone use, and a police report describes Mark as intoxicated and belligerent at the time of his arrest. Mark reportedly choked his father Daniel Kerrigan until he collapsed and died.

Daniel’s wife Sandra has said she believed her husband suffered a heart attack during the stressful altercation.
