Mother 'fired her Taurus handgun into air to break up fight between her son and another child at back-to-school event'
A North Carolina mother was arrested after firing a handgun into the air to break up a fight between her son and another boy at a back-to-school event. Cherez Montique Davis, 34, of Charlotte, was arrested on Saturday after allegedly firing at least two rounds into the air from her Taurus G6 while at an event at the CW Williams Community Health Center around 1pm. The shots were fired to break up a fight between her son and another boy, according to an affidavit viewed by Daily Mail. Another adult intervened and that is when Davis pulled the gun out of her backpack and fired it before placing the weapon back inside and walking away, the filings say. No one was injured, but the sound of gunshots made the crowd of 100 scatter in fear, the affidavit said. Some attendees ran onto Wilkinson Boulevard without looking, while others went inside the center for coverage, Debra Weeks, the CEO of the health center, told The Charlotte Observer. A few worried the shots indicated ICE agents were raiding the event, the CEO said. The shots came after the police presence had left the event. 'I think if the presence had still been there, I don't think she would have been as free to respond that way,' Weeks said. Witnessed described the shooter as a woman with braids, a black shirt, jeans, and Crocs. Davis was apprehended shortly after by police. Her firearm was taken in as evidence and she was booked into the Mecklenburg County Detention Center on $50,000 bond. She has since posted bail. She was charged with going armed to the terror of the people and carrying a concealed weapon. Both are misdemeanors. Davis allegedly apologized at the end of the event, telling the crowd she was sorry. 'They gave her the mic,' Weeks said. 'All she could say was: "I'm sorry. I'm sorry."' Weeks wants attendees to know the annual event is safe and violence has never occurred before this year's bash. 'We want people to know it's safe,' she told The Observer.

Mothers brawl in primary school playground after one accused the other of sleeping with her ex
Two women came to blows in front of other parents and children at a primary school after one accused the other of sleeping with her ex, a court has heard. Mother-of-four Natasha Sherlock, 29, and mother-of-three Samantha Rylance, 28, had a fight while collecting their children from Sommerville Primary School in Seacombe on the Wirral last July. In front of a crowd of shocked bystanders, Sherlock accused her fellow parent of sleeping with her ex-boyfriend before shouting, 'Do not f**ing talk to my kids', as her daughter waved at her rival. The pair then scuffled on the tarmac in a scrap which saw Rylance slap Sherlock who then punched Rylance in the face. The fight was eventually broken up by Rylance's partner Callum Roberts and Sherlock's father, who had been helping collect the children. Police were called by Rylance and were passed CCTV of the incident by the school's headmaster. Sherlock was later arrested at her home. Both women were left with black eyes following the melee. At Sefton Magistrates' Court on Monday, Sherlock, from Birkenhead on the Wirral, stood trial for assault by beating but was cleared after insisting she acted in self-defence. But District Judge Paul Healey, who viewed the CCTV, said: 'This took place on a school playground, with parents and kids around. It is a thoroughly unpleasant incident to witness.' Rylance told the hearing: 'I was coming onto the playground and her daughter waved at me. I looked at her and that is when she hurled abuse. 'She said, "Do not f**ing look at my children." It was quite loud and there were other parents there. 'I just walked away then collected my little boy and left the small playground to go to the main playground to meet the kids' dad Callum who was collecting the other children. 'But I saw Natasha talking to him and she being aggressive and screaming and shouting at Callum. When she saw me she said: "Yes, f****ing you." 'I said "Leave it, we are on the playground. There are kids around." 'But she said, "Come on, come on, let's go outside" and started grabbing my top. She was screaming and shouting. 'She initially knocked my glasses off and as gentleman picked them she was pulling on my top. 'I knocked her hand away to defend myself but she swung and hit me across the face and that is when it turned into the fight itself. 'After the incident I felt awful. The kids did not want to go to school or let me to take them to school in case I got attacked again.' The CCTV showed Sherlock walking up towards the camera with her father and two children. She then stopped to speak to Callum who was walking in the opposite direction then turned around and saw Rylance. Sherlock appeared to move back slightly but Rylance's hands remained out of view. Sherlock was then seen punching Rylance with her right hand to the left side of her face. Callum told the hearing: 'Natasha was angry. She said, 'You best sort her out' or 'Sort your missis out.' Samantha approached and Natasha said 'Yeah, you'. She then ended up grabbing her and then punched her. I was really worried about the kids. There were arms flying everywhere. ' A police report of the incident said: 'Natasha claims Samantha has slept with her boyfriend causing them to fall out and they have not spoken in a while. She says Rylance approached her but and denies grabbing her clothes and swearing at her. She further claims Rylance hit just below her right eye and has hit her back as a reaction and in self-defence. ' In her evidence Sherlock agreed she had fallen out with Rylance and added: 'It was quite a bad one. On that day she said 'Hi' to my daughter and I said 'Do not talk to my child.' I knew she was trying to wind me up.' 'I saw Callum and I said to him 'Tell her not to speak to me or the kids'. But I heard her shouting and it escalated from there. I said to Samantha, 'Here, let's go to the office and tell them what a dirty little coke-head you are. At that point she slapped me and I responded. 'I felt I had no choice. I was overwhelmed and I felt scared and threatened. I did not know what else to do. I think she only slapped me because she did not want to go to the office. It freaked me out and it scared me. I had my kids with me. I did not know if she was going to hit me again. Obviously it was a shock to everyone when I smacked back but I got hit first. 'I tried walking off but Samantha carried on screaming stuff. If anyone was attacked it was me and I hit her back. I was only aggressive when she started shouting at me.' Sherlock's father Robert said: 'I saw Samantha throw a slap at my daughter and my daughter hit her. I had hold of a pram but I just reacted and jumped in the middle. I put my arms up and tried to prevent any more. I was shocked. It happened so quickly. It was a bit of banter at first then all of a sudden I saw it go boom.' Sherlock's lawyer Paul Davison said: 'The complainant was the aggressor. If she is scared of the defendant and if she hears the defendant shout words when she has a young child with her, why approach unless you are looking for trouble? You just wouldn't but she does.'

Florida mom accused of covering up teen son's role in Deltona stabbing
The Brief School fight escalates into stabbing near Heritage Middle School. Video and phone evidence revealed false alibi, deputies say. Teen turned in by grandmother after mother's arrest. DELTONA, Fla. - A 15-year-old boy and his mother have been arrested in connection with a stabbing that took place just south of Heritage Middle School in Deltona. What we know According to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, a 15-year-old boy was allegedly involved in a school-related altercation that escalated into violence. Deputies say the mother, Kayla Cobb, 33, tried to shield her son from accountability by giving a false alibi — a move that ultimately led to her arrest for obstructing a criminal investigation. What we don't know Authorities have not released the identities of the teenager or his mother. It remains unclear what exactly led to the fight or whether the stabbing was premeditated. The specifics of the video evidence and how the cell phone factored into the discrepancies in their alibi have not been fully detailed publicly. Investigators also have not disclosed whether the teen will face charges as a juvenile or adult. The backstory The stabbing incident reportedly stemmed from a dispute at school. The teen's mother was arrested first, allegedly for trying to provide a cover story to investigators. Video footage reviewed by deputies contradicted her version of events. The teen was later turned in by his grandmother after law enforcement began looking for him. What they're saying The sheriff's office emphasized the role of video and cell phone data in breaking down a false alibi. Investigators said they noticed discrepancies between the story told by the teen and his mother and what was visible in the footage. "His cellphone gave him up," said Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood. "So he's got a warrant out for aggravated battery. Mom's being arrested as well. She's going to be my nominee for 'Mother of the Year' Your son's out there stabbing people, and you're creating an alibi to have him not be accountable. Well now, we're going to hold you accountable." The department also credited the grandmother for cooperating with the arrest.
