The mother of Michael Brown could be charged with felony armed robbery for allegedly attacking people in a Ferguson, Mo., parking lot because they were selling T-shirts honoring the late teenager.

The Ferguson Police Department is currently investigating claims that Lesley McSpadden brought a group of people — including her own mother — to beat vendors and rob them of their "Justice for Mike Brown" merchandise Oct. 18, The Smoking Gun has learned.

One person was hospitalized in the reported attack and another unidentified alleged victim was reportedly beaten with a pipe.

McSpadden's former mother-in-law, Pearlie Gordon, was among those beaten by "a large group of about 20-30 subjects" who had "jumped out of vehicles and rushed" the group of sellers, according to the police report.

Video of news report said that it was Mike Brown's cousin that was beaten with a pipe though it isn't clear if they mean the cousin of Mike Brown, deceased or his father who has the same name. Also says that the McSpadden group stole $1500 of merchandise and $400 cash. McSpadden has a criminal attorney and tried to keep the report from the public. Someone claiming to have filled the whole incident while sitting in his car so far doesn't want to hand it over to police, and police are trying to convince the person to turn it over. I wasn't aware that evidence like this is optional in turning over to police. Wouldn't it be subject to subpoena? I'm not understanding why they wouldn't want to turn it over anyway. Maybe they want to sell it to some gossip rag.

I stumbled across this story while looking for something else, and I'd never heard of it. After following this link to that link to this ad or video last I remember I was reading about some grossly expensive wrinkle cream that turned out to be a scam (well, one can always hope). After doing a search for more info assuming it would have been all over the news MSM seems to be ignoring it entirely for some mysterious reason. Interesting since if anyone sneezes in the general vicinity of Ferguson it's all over the news.
