Chicago – A man threatened his mother with a machete and later held her hostage in a west suburban police station parking lot because she refused to buy him $4,000 worth of basketball cards and a costume mask on eBay, according to police.
“This is one of the most bizarre domestic situations I have ever seen in my 30 years at the Riverside Police Department,” Chief Thomas Weitzel said.
The machete-wielding son went so far as to slice up bedroom sheets in front of this mother to make the point that he would harm her, he added.
He wanted to buy basketball cards and a costume mask from a popular movie that was being bid at $4,000, police said.
She refused because she didn’t have the money. More
