Police Decide Whether Michael Brown’s Mother Should Be Charged With Armed Robbery

Police are deciding whether to charge Michael Brown’s mother with felony armed robbery after a group of people were attacked in a parking lot in Ferguson, Missouri. Police are investigating whether Lesley McSpadden, Brown’s mother, recruited the attackers to beat the group selling the T-shirts of her son and rob them of the money and merchandise.

One person was allegedly beaten with a pipe and yet another individual was hospitalized from their injuries. Unbelievably, one of the victims was reported to be McSpadden’s former mother-in-law, Pearlie Gordon.

McSpadden and “a large group of about 20-30 subjects” rolled up and “rushed” the vendors. “You can’t sell this s**t,” the mother said, according to the police report.

Gordon allegedly refused to back down, instead stating that “unless McSpadden could produce documentation stating that she had a patent on her son’s name (Gordon) was going to continue to sell her merchandise,” the report said.

Police will decide whether or not to bring charges against McSpadden and the other suspects following a criminal investigation, but they say more than $1,500 in merchandise and $400 in cash was stolen by the suspects.
