NORTHAMPTON — An Easthampton man who allegedly assaulted his disabled father and held him hostage during a night of terror was ordered held without bail after pleading not guilty Friday to a raft of charges in Northampton District Court.

Kevin Pardee, 37, is charged with kidnapping, strangulation, assault with a dangerous weapon, three counts of assault and battery on an elderly or disabled person, two counts of malicious destruction of property and intimidation of a witness.

Pardee’s attorney, Michael Foy, said his client was prepared to pay $15,000 bail and agree to stay away from his father, but Judge Jacklyn Connly accepted the commonwealth’s argument that there were no conditions that could keep the community safe in this case.

Assistant District Attorney Veronice Santana told Connly that Pardee’s father, Gerry Pardee, went to the Easthampton Police Department just before 10 a.m. Thursday to report that his son had attacked him the previous evening and prevented him from leaving the house. He told police his son was distraught over a break-up with his girlfriend and wanted him to call her and help resolve their differences.

Gerry Pardee, who walks with a cane and uses a pacemaker, told police his son, angered by something he had said on the phone, knocked him to the ground. After ordering him to sit at the kitchen table, he said, his son stabbed the table with a knife and started questioning him. If he didn’t like the answers, he would punch his father. He then allegedly choked his father, stabbed his cellphone, destroyed the house phones so he couldn’t call for help and only allowed him to go to bed if he made certain promises.

Santana said Kevin Pardee has a significant history of violence dating back to 2004 and recently completed two years on probation after being found guilty of assault and battery.

Foy told the judge Pardee didn’t remember anything of his alleged behavior on the night in question because he had suffered a head injury in a motor vehicle accident the night before.

In 2017, Pardee was sentenced to 4 to 5½ years in prison for beating and terrorizing his girlfriend in two incidents, one of which led to a standoff with Easthampton police.
