Police: Fried chicken, crowbar fly in beef between Akron brothers that was ignited by mom's bite of poultry
By Beacon Journal staff

POSTED: 11:38 a.m. EST, Dec 14, 2010

Police say they were called to a home on Wildwood Avenue where the men were visiting their mother Sunday afternoon. The brothers were watching TV in separate rooms when Thomas Morris, 41, said a piece of chicken was tossed in his direction.

Tony Morris reportedly admitted tossing the chicken, saying he was angry because he believed his brother took a bite of the chicken and placed it back in a frying pan.

Thomas Morris told police he suggested the brothers go outside and handle their dispute like men. According to reports, Tony Morris then grabbed a crowbar and charged after brother.

Thomas Morris ran outside, but slipped on the icy porch. He was then struck several times in the head and suffered a 3-inch laceration to his forehead. Eventually, he ran to a neighbor's home and grabbed a snow shovel, prompting Tony Morris to flee.

The mother, 57, who admitted she ate the chicken, called 911. Before leaving, Tony Morris threatened to return with a gun and shoot his brother, police said. Thomas Morris was taken to a local hospital.

3. My cousins once got into a fight like this, over fried chicken.

The police were called, the fire department was called, protective services were called - it did not end well. :rofl:

4. A bite missing from a piece of fried chicken wouldn't have even

slowed me down.

5. Never eat the stuff....

...unless I'm alone or with somebody!

6. Dang, just as Tony was going to settle the thing once and for all

Shooting Thomas would have totally won the argument, even though Mom had precipitated the whole thing. I supposed Tony could have settled her hash later.

Shit, what do people use for brains?

7. That sibling rivalry shit

8. What kind of monster does something like this?

"he believed his brother took a bite of the chicken and placed it back in a frying pan."

I'd crowbar someone upside the head for that.

before becoming mom

10. If you didn't learn manners by 16, you were never going to learn.
