A Spartanburg mother is accused of stabbing her son several times Christmas morning, but her son is the person facing charges. City police say it appears the mother, 45-year-old Tammy Jones, stabbed her son because he urinated on her while she slept in her bed. 21-year-old Michael Anthony Carson, nicknamed Pooh Bear, is charged with aggravated assault and battery. Police arrested him at his mother's home on Wednesday. City police say Jones stabbed her son six times with a butcher knife. He suffered wounds to his shoulder, calf, and chest. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me." Investigators say this type domestic dispute is rare, but they take it seriously, “Oh, we take everything like this seriously. An assault as been alleged, certainly we're going to follow up on it,” said Lt. Ron Cantrell with the Spartanburg City Police Department. Spartanburg hospital treated and released Carson after minor surgery to make sure his mother's knife did not penetrate his heart. The city does not plan to charge the mother unless the solicitor's office sees otherwise.
They charged the son with peeing on her, but didn't charge the mother for stabbing him? And, I'd love to know the thought process that led up to "I think I'll pee on my mom". I'd bet my paycheck on either mental illness or alcohol. Or both.
This whole story sounds very strange to me. I had to read it twice, thought maybe it was some sick joke...
Here is the link. I do not believe it was a joke and the article does not answer the other questions? http://www.wspa.com/midatlantic/spa/news.apx.-content-articles-SPA-2007-12-26-0008.html

There is more to this story Poohbear wouldnt have urinated on her just out of the blue. And she stabbed him 6 times including in the chest and she didnt go to jail......... there is something wrong with this! Posted December 26, 2007 @ 04:59 PM by missmomof4 There are some strange things happening in our world, but this is a new one on me. I know the son should be charged with assault but I also think the mother should too. even if he did urinate on her she still stabbed him. She knew what she was doing also. Ans she stabbed him 6 times. I think she was trying to kill him. Maybe the son was on something but the mother still had no right stabbing her son and getting to walk free and him be the one to recieve asault charges.

Am I missing where it says WHY he urinated on her? Not that it matters much, but why in the world would he do that?? Was she on fire? :lol:

No this was not your 40/42 PoohBear. But actually I spent the holidays in S.C. Just returned. Someone on another board posted: Just think, if her question had been "why did you poo on me pee bear?" LMAO
