Kent Police arrested a mother for investigation of fourth-degree assault after she reportedly hit her adult son with a plastic baseball bat during a dispute on the East Hill.
The son allegedly called his mother a bitch before she came after him with the bat and hit him multiple times in the head, according to the police report.
Officers responded at about 4:35 a.m. on Feb. 27 to a dispute at the Mosaic Hills Apartments, 23719 110th Ave. S.E. The son told police he lives at the apartment with his mother. He said he had a disagreement with his girlfriend and his mother intervened and told him to leave.
Police arrested the son for violation of a no-contact order that his girlfriend had against him. The son told officers his mother always takes his girlfriend’s side during their disputes.
The mother told officers she hit her son with the bat for calling her a bitch. She claimed he then pushed her to the ground. The son said he called his mother a name but denied he pushed his mother. He set he put his arms up in self-defense. Officers were unable to confirm if the son pushed his mother to the ground.
Liquor violation
Officers cited a teen for investigation of being a minor in possession of alcohol after finding him standing near a single-vehicle accident on March 1 near the intersection of 64th Avenue South and South 240th Street.
When officers responded to the call, they found the teen standing by the side of the roadway where a car had crashed into a bus sign and tree before ending up back on the street, according to the police report.
Police noted an odor of alcohol on the teen. The boy told police he needed to go to the bathroom and wondered if he could use a nearby tree. An officer told him it’s against the law to urinate in public and that there were no nearby bathrooms. The teen asked if he could then wet his pants. The officer said that isn’t illegal but it is disgusting. The teen then wet his pants.
Police were unable to determine if the teen was the driver of the vehicle. He denied he had driven it and said he was a passenger, although nobody else was around at the scene of the accident.
