Mom turns in son for stealing drugs from her bra


MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A Memphis woman called police after she found her son stealing her prescription sedatives from her bra. The Commercial Appeal reported that police found a 28-year-old man hiding under a neighbor's sport utility vehicle Wednesday morning. The mother, whose name police didn't release, told officer she awakened before dawn to find her son filching Xanax from her bra, where she kept it to prevent him from stealing it.

Police said the man had 22 Xanax pills, 15 of them wrapped in toilet paper and hidden in his sock. Officer said a search of the man's room turned up more pills and various drug paraphernalia.

He was in jail Thursday with bond set at $40,000.

1. If I was going to steal drugs, I can think of better ones than Xanax.

10. If I was going to steal drugs, I can think of better places than my mother's brassiere.

12. That goes without saying.

2. I have to assume

that mother and son didn't have much of a relationship to begin with. Sad.

3. Many good relationships have been ruined by drugs. If the son already

had a history of drug abuse/addiction it may explain why the mother felt she had to keep the drugs hidden and why she turned him in. Regardless, it is sad.

5. Agreed on all points. n/t

4. Why didn't she kick him out of the house and change the locks

if he was stealing drugs (or anything else) from her?

6. I have a family friend who had to do that.

It broke her heart but he'd stolen everything from her already and she finally saw what she had to do for her own safety and sanity. I've known her and her son my whole life, she's like an aunt to me and he was like a cousin. He was found dead a year ago in his SRO and she's still dealing with the guilt over this. It's so sad. I love her dearly and hate to see her grieve.

8. Oh man, that's so heartbreaking...

I'm so sorry for what your friend has gone through. :(

7. A class CC felony.

9. Alright, alright. DD.

11. Did she have it on?

If she can't keep it from him there, she may as well just give it to him.

At least now he's in jail and out of her bra for a while.
