'Yo, Ma, Where's My Ornament?' Man punches mother in the face over missing decoration

By David December 17, 2013 12:16 pm

A Michigan man was arrested over the weekend, accused of repeatedly punching his mother in the face because she had not put up a Christmas tree ornament with his name on it.

A Michigan man was arrested over the weekend after he was accused of repeatedly punched his mother in the face because she had not put up a Christmas tree ornament with his name on it.

According to WOOD, the Allegan County Sheriff’s Office responded on Saturday morning around 2 a.m. after 911 dispatchers received a call and heard a woman screaming, "You are hurting me!”

Deputies found that 33-year-old Lewis Atwood had been drinking and decorating a Christmas tree with his girlfriend, mother and brother when he noticed that there was no ornament with his name on the tree -- but the mother had put up an ornament with the brother's name.

A police report obtained by The Smoking Gun said that Atwood "punched his 58-year-old mother in the face four or five times."

Maybe the article mentions why the brother did not intervene, but the link won't load right now.
