When R&B crooner Mario’s mom called 911 to report that her son had attacked her, she referred to him as a “mental case” according to the probable cause statement. “On Oct. 01, 2010, at 12:53 a.m., this officer, Michael Ogle… received a call via police radio for a mental case breaking up property inside [address redacted],” reads the report.
The statement goes on to say when officers arrived, they found the victim, Shawntia Hardaway, sitting in the lobby of a high rise apartment building upset and in tears.
Hardaway told police that her son was upstairs throwing things and damaging the property. Hardaway and Mario are listed on the report as residents of the apartment.
The report states that earlier in the day, Mario and his mom got into a verbal argument when Mario “used his hands” to shove Hardaway “very hard” 8 feet into the living room where she fell and hit her head, “causing pain and discomfort.”
Mario was arrested and charged with assault and destruction of property.
