Son beats mother with baseball bat in Anaheim, police say – Los Angeles Times

An 18-year-old man was arrested Tuesday night after severely beating his mother with baseball bat inside their Anaheim home, police said.

Seth White was taken into custody after he was spotted by officers near the Santa Ana River Trail, Anaheim police Sgt. Daron Wyatt said.

Neighbors reported hearing the attack just after 8:45 p.m. in the 5800 block of East La Palma Avenue, he said. They then saw White leaving the home while still carrying the baseball bat, police said.

When officers arrived at the home, they peered into a window and saw Karen White, 58, on the ground. She was suffering from severe blunt force-type injuries, Wyatt said.
