A troublemaking young man literally "trashed" his mother's backyard, a PCSD report said.
Deputies arrived on scene and spoke with a friend of hers who was helping her move out. The friend said her son had been generally acting angry ever since she'd let him stay with her.
Today, the friend said, the son had "needed a trash can" for some reason—so, just as the backyard was being cleaned, he found one and dumped its contents all over the yard, kicked trash everywhere, and entered the garage to throw more stuff around.
Told to "calm down," the son then threatened to kill the friend with a baseball bat.
Fortunately a bystander prevented violence, fending off the son with a golf club—but he proceeded to overturn (and break) a large entertainment center.
The son admitted to everything and was arrested for disorderly conduct.
