(01-07) 19:16 PST MENLO PARK -- The 20-year-old son of former San Francisco Giants outfielder Barry Bonds has been charged with five misdemeanor counts stemming from a Dec. 5 altercation with his mother and responding police officers.

Nikolai Lamar Bonds faces two years in county jail if convicted of the charges, including one count each of battery, false imprisonment, vandalism, threatening a police officer and obstructing a police officer, said San Mateo County Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.

Bonds, who was 19 at the time of the incident, reportedly became angry after his mother, Sun Bonds, questioned him about jewelry missing from the house they shared in Menlo Park.

"She did not accuse him of it, but she was questioning whether his friends did it," Wagstaffe said. "That's what started the disturbance. There was yelling, screaming. She started crying." Sun Bonds is the former wife of Barry Bonds.

In December 2009, the Palo Alto Daily News reported that Nikolai Bonds "was cited on July 9 by Cal Poly San Luis Obispo police for being a minor in possession of alcohol" and still had (as of then) an outstanding $1,000 warrant for failing to appear.

Barry the cheater and liar, Nikolai the woman-beater. Like father, like son, ehh?

1. ehh????? woman beater???

A sad situation, but nothing is said about him beating his mother.
I hope he gets help and learns a dam good lesson from this.
Your glee is offensive, and I wish them all the best.

2. Nikolai doesn't respect cops either

What in my comments sounds "gleeful" to you?

The article says that Nikolai spit in mama's face, threw furniture at her, and confined her to a room. That's not violent to you? Nikolai also threatened police officers who arrived.
