For repeated attacks on her teen-age son, a 57-year-old mother was sentenced Wednesday to three days in county jail.
Carleen P. Pardy, of 406 E. Bloomfield St., was sentenced by City Court Judge Daniel C. Wilson to three days in jail, three years probation and was ordered to pay $370 in court fees on one count each of second-degree menacing and second-degree harassment.
Police said at 7:50 p.m. Feb. 22, Pardy swung a knife at her 17-year-old son during a dispute at their residence. In a statement to police, the victim said his mother had come home from the bar and was upset. He said he tried to go into his room to get away when she came in with a knife and threatened to slash his bicycle tires.
The teen said he stepped in front of his mother to try and keep her from going outside when she slashed at him with the knife.
Police said at 8:50 p.m. April 3, Pardy bit her son on the right arm during another dispute. In another statement to police, the teenager said his mother was once again upset after coming home from a bar. He said they were arguing about whether or not he needed to take his medication, and he said he had already done so.
The victim told police that he stretched his arm across the frame of his bedroom door so that his mother could not come in, which is when she bit him.
