Singer Mario Arrested After Attacking His Own Mother

R&B singer Mario was arrested for 2nd degree assault charge this morning  after an altercation involving his mother. The singer stood before a Baltimore judge  and posted a $50, 000.00 bond after attacking his mother Shawntia Hardaway. His mother called the police because Mario was "throwing and damaging property" and shoved her with his hands and forearms.

This apparently wasn't the first time he attacked her either. Shawntia claims that her son also pushed her around earlier in the week. According to the police report, she alleges that he pushed her "eight feet into a living room wall, where Ms. Hardaway hit her head on the wall."

The police statement of probable cause follows:

At 12:53 a.m., an officer was dispatched to the 900 block of Fells St for a call for a "mental case breaking up property" inside an apartment. Officers met Hardaway in the front lobby — she was crying and appeared very upset, officers wrote. She said Mario was "throwing and damaging property" in the apartment they share, and had pushed her using his hands and forearms, causing minor pain. When police went up to the apartment, they found a damaged china cabinet and the floor littered with broken glass. A mirror was broken, and there was a large hole in a closet door.

She said it was the second such time he had put his hands on her in recent days — on Sept. 27, she said, they got into an argument in which he pushed her "eight feet into a living room wall, where Ms. Hardaway hit her head on the wall," police wrote in charging documents.

"When this officer asked the victim if she fears for her life in reference to her son's actions, the victim replied 'yes,'" the officer wrote.

There was no immediate word on what sparked either incident.
