The Sad, Crazy News from My Hometown

So, on Facebook, my sister sent a link to a news story:

UNION CITY, Tenn. (AP) - Police in Union City have charged a man with throwing a ham at his mother.

According to the Union City Daily Messenger, 37-year-old Emanual Cordell Kennedy was arrested Tuesday afternoon on a charge of domestic assault.

Brenda King, his mother, told police the two argued at her home and he hit her in the back with the ham while she was walking down a hall. She left the home and went to the police department to report it.

The sad thing about this story is I KNOW THESE PEOPLE!

The woman is my mama's friend and the mother of my good friend. When I saw this, I almost fainted. I can't believe this made the news, in fact, it was under CNN. I hope they are okay.
