Louisiana teen allegedly caught by his mother sneaking out of the house with a girl. Minutes later, he calls 911 to report his own mom

A teen in Monroe, Louisiana, reportedly called the police on his own mother after he was allegedly caught sneaking out of their home with a girl. The mother is now facing one count of domestic abuse battery charges following the mother and son’s dispute.

On Sunday, Nov. 8, the Monroe Police Department responded to a domestic disturbance at a residence at around 9:25 p.m., according to an arrest affidavit reported by the Monroe Free Press. When they arrived, officers found a 17-year-old boy, said to be the one who contacted 911, and alleged to officers that his 45-year-old mother, Lakesha Doyle, had punched him in the side of his face with her fists closed.

According to the arrest affidavit, Doyle supposedly admitted to the officers that she had punched her son near the ear after being read her Miranda rights. She claimed the altercation began when her son refused to leave her bedroom and repeatedly tried to explain the reason he left the house with a girl without permission.

Louisiana mother says she became upset

“During questioning, Doyle admitted to punching her 17 y/o son on the side of his head near his ear,” responding officer Dustin Williams wrote in the arrest affidavit, according to Atlanta Black Star. Doyle reportedly told officers she became upset when her son kept talking to her, while the teen claimed he was “just trying to talk” to his mother.

The initial investigation resulted in the officers arresting Doyle. The arrest affidavit stated that she was placed in “mechanical restraints (double locked & checked)” before being taken into custody at the Ouachita Correctional Center.

The case is still under investigation, and further details about the dispute between the mother and son have not yet been released. It also remains unclear what the extent of the 17-year-old’s injuries was following the alleged punch, and under whose custody he will be while the case is ongoing.

Doyle’s case has reportedly been forwarded to a district court. The arrest affidavit noted that the mother has no other pending charges or a criminal history prior to the incident.

Under Louisiana law, domestic abuse battery is defined as the intentional use of force or violence by one household or family member against another. If convicted, first offenders face fines ranging from $300 to $1,000 and are sentenced to jail for 30 days to six months. Penalties increase with each repeat conviction.
