ONAWA, Iowa (AP) - The city administrator in a western Iowa town has been charged with assaulting his 15-year-old son.

Court documents say 45-year-old Bradley Hanson, city administrator in Onawa, got into a fight with his son at their home. A criminal complaint with the Monona County Sheriff's Office says Hanson slapped his son, who slapped him back, and Hanson then took him to the ground and slammed his head into the floor.

Records show Hanson's wife called police as the fight occurred.

The sheriff's office says the teen had minor injuries, but didn't require medical treatment.

KTIV-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1vuIlUn ) Hanson was arrested Jan. 28. A message left with Hanson's attorney Thursday was not immediately returned.

Hanson has since bonded out of jail. A court hearing is set for Feb. 11.
