Shortly before 11 p.m. on March 10, Christopher Keith, 24, phone authorities to report someone had stabbed his mother at their home in Tallahassee, the Leon County Sheriff’s Office said.

The victim was rushed to an area hospital. While at the facility, she claimed her son was responsible for her critical injuries, the Tallahassee Democrat reported.
