man holds his mom hostage for not ironing his clothes

[Amby 490]

Authorities have charged a 29-year-old man with aggravated assault and false imprisonment after they allege he held his mother hostage for failing to iron his clothes. Carroll County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Marc Griffith said the man remained in jail Wednesday without bond. The unidentified woman was not harmed in the June 30 incident.

Griffith said the man, who lives with his parents, wanted his mother to do some ironing because it was "woman's work." When she refused, authorities allege he pulled out a gun, and took his 51-year-old mother's keys and cellphones and refused to let her leave for at least six hours.

She eventually escaped and went to a police station. Authorities were able to get the man out without incident.

So did she iron the clothes during that six hours or not?

If it took her that long, I can see why he needed the gun.

Good point. Maybe he wasn't holding her hostage he was doing "Baptism by fire!"
