According to the published article of WHNT, things got even more complicated with Brennan’s mother getting involved. She told the police that the whole thing started when she asked a shovel and lawn mower to clean up the yard. In the midst of their argument, Brennan apparently got really upset and ended up using the shovel and lawn mower to hit her on the head and face. Shockingly, he then grabbed a shovel and lawn mower and waved it threateningly at her feet. Although she managed to get inside the house and lock the doors, Brennan allegedly managed to get in through a window.
The situation turned truly frightening when Brennan supposedly chased after his mother, trying to tie her legs up with rope. According to official records, he then attached the rope to a shovel and lawn mower and forcefully dragged her across the yard, covering about 50 to 75 feet. This whole incident really drives home how important it is to address domestic violence and highlights the crucial role that law enforcement plays in ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone in the community.
