Son attacks mom with cast iron skillet after argument over baseball cards, MS cops say
A dispute over baseball cards ended with a woman hit in the head with a cast iron skillet, a Mississippi sheriff said. Now, the woman’s son is behind bars.
Cedric Demond Ross, 43, was arrested Thursday, Oct. 24, after turning himself in to authorities, according to the Yazoo County Sheriff’s Office.
Ross had been wanted on a charge of domestic violence-aggravated assault stemming from the Oct. 21 attack that left his mother badly injured and needing eight staples in her head, deputies told McClatchy News.
Authorities said Ross struck his mother with a cast iron skillet after they argued over baseball cards.
“These behaviors will not be tolerated,” the sheriff’s office said at the time.
Deputies didn’t release additional information.
Ross remained in custody at the Yazoo County Regional Correctional Facility on an $80,000 bond as of Oct. 25, online records show.
Yazoo City is about a 50-mile drive northwest from downtown Jackson.
