Blackout Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Teen beats up his grandmother - because she won't buy him beer Bradenton, Florida -- Deputies say a 16-year-old has been arrested for beating his grandmother with a two-by-four for refusing to give him $100 for beer. Charged is Kurt Cass of Hammock Drive, Bradenton. Investigators say Cass went into his 60-year-old grandmother's bedroom Thursday and asked her for $100 for beer. When she refused, he allegedly placed a razor blade on her throat and demanded she take him to the bank to get the money, deputies said. "When the victim arrived back home she locked all of the doors," deputies reported. "The defendant arrived back home and kicked the front door in. "Once inside the defendant grabbed a two foot 2x4 piece of wood and hit the victim numerous times on the back. The defendant then grabbed a three foot piece of 3 inch PVC pipe and hit the victim on her head, back, and legs numerous times. The defendant's case worker arrived on scene and was able to hold him until law enforcement arrived." Deputies said Cass has made comments in the past to his grandmother that she should kill his entire family. Cass was charged with domestic aggravated assault, two counts of domestic aggravated battery, attempted robbery, and kidnapping. The grandmother has had legal guardianship of Cass and his little brother since 1994. Authorities tell us today that Cass came from a troubled family. His mother is in prison on cocaine possession and sale charges, and his father is serving a 15-year prison sentence for manslaughter after choking a prostitute to death in 2002. http://www.tampabays10.com/thismorning/thismorning_article.aspx?storyid=24334 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green DNA Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hey, the guy needed a beer, sounds reasonable. $100 is a little excessive though, unless he was drinking some fancy import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green DNA Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Maybe he needed $45 for beer and the other $55 to become a JI Insider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Of Bavaria Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 You guys would be amazed at the crap that goes on and never makes the headlines and/or police blotter. Kids hitting their parents because they won't give them the remote, kids calling 911 because they're parents are disciplining them, etc. Some of these calls you go to and you just want to ring your hands around these punk ass kids and ring their necks. The best is when right before I leave, I tell the parents that as long as they stay within limits, there's nothing against the law that says they can't punish their kid with a few slaps upside the head. Some parents are too afraid they're going to get arrested for Domestic. Some of these kids need a tune up, plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
