A father and his son have been charged by OPP after a fight in Odessa, west of Kingston, on Monday around noon.

Investigators say the 16 year-old boy was involved in a fight with another youth, in a convenience store parking lot and his 49 year-old father stopped anyone else from getting involved, or breaking it up.

The 16 year-old is charged with assault, while the father is charged with counselling an offense.

Both were released on promises to appear in Napanee court in January.
