Listen to this... A man in Washington was arrested last week after someone made unwelcomed remarks about his mother. The "Kitsap Sun" is reporting that a 58-year-old was driving when he stopped to have words with a 55-year-old. The younger man told police he made a comment about the 58-year-old's mother, at which point the older gentleman grabbed a stick from his truck and hit the 55-year-old. The 58-year-old was arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault and taken to the Kitsap County jail on ten-thousand dollars bail. The best part... momma bailed him out within the hour.
