HERNANDO COUNTY -- A Hernando County man was arrested after his 15-year-old son died.
Police said the father gave his son powerful prescription drugs because he wanted the boy "to know how to party right."
Steven Alfano, 47, was charged with third degree murder after his son, Vincent Alfano, died of an accidental overdose in June.
Witnesses said the Spring Hill man showed his son how to crush and snort pills; like the painkiller oxycodone and the heroin substitute methadone.
Alfano later told two of Vincent's friends he knowingly gave the drugs to his son to teach him to party.
That conversation was recorded by police.
