MARTIN COUNTY — It could be said that an apparent spat between siblings over beer ended up worse than losing a drinking game.

That’s because one of the siblings, Leon Oneal Smith, 35, got locked up on a battery charge after the April 17 “brewhaha” in Martin County.

Martin County sheriff’s investigators met Smith’s brother, identified as the victim, in the driveway of his grandfather’s home.

The brother said he and Smith were intoxicated when an altercation situation occurred.

The brother said Smith came in the front door and went to the refrigerator.

“Where’s the beer?” Smith is quoted as saying.

Smith’s brother said Smith implied that the brother imbibed all the beer, an alcoholic beverage brewed from malt that’s available in bottles, cans and on tap. Flavored with hops, beer that’s made in America is referred to as “domestic,” while beer available here that’s made outside America is known as “imported” or “an import.”

Meanwhile, Smith’s brother said he quaffed no beer.

That, the sibling said, is when Smith hit him in the head. They wrestled, and were separated by the grandfather. Smith left the house, but investigators found him.

Smith was arrested, and taken to jail, where beer and spirits are not available.
