An Indian River County youth has been accused of assaulting his mother and attacking police, all because he was ordered to stop playing Halo 3.
According to TCPalm, trouble began when the youth (whose name and age cannot be stated for legal reasons) was told by his mother to turn off his Xbox 360 as it was getting late.
After he refused, his mother took his “air card” (Wi-Fi adaptor) from the 360, preventing him from playing online and prompting a fit of rage that would see the child frantically search through the house, before punching his mum in the face.
The kid then retreated to his room, but soon had to deal with local Sheriff’s deputies, whom his mum had called following the assault.
The deputies entered his room using a key kept by the mother, but also fell foul to the youth’s rage: he managed to punch one deputy square in the face before being restrained and handcuffed.
He would later be turned over to the state juvenile authorities of charges of battery-domestic violence and battery on a law enforcement officer.
