Pittsfield, Massachusetts
On a cold December day in 2011, 19-year-old
Christopher Rougeau decided to treat himself to a nice big plate of bacon. While even many vegetarians would salivate at the thought of such a delicious meal (even if they won't admit it), Christopher should have found something else to eat that day; his mother had bought the meat to prepare as
part of a special breakfast for later in the week.
When she returned home to find her son chowing down on all of the crispy goodness,
she began to berate him for his thoughtlessness. Rather than feeling guilty or contrite, however, Christopher instead responded by pushing his mother to the ground and
grabbing her by the throat. He also
disabled the phone she was trying to use to call the police for help. (I'm going to assume that "disabled" most likely means "hurled against the wall.")
Nine months later, Christopher's attorney was happy to report that he and his mother had
repaired their relationship...which is probably a good thing, since Chris doesn't seem like the type of guy that keeps friends for very long. In addition to
another assault on his mother in June of 2011, he is facing
three felony counts of vandalism for attacking his girlfriend's car: Kicking the door, attempting to pull off the windshield wipers, and jumping on the hood while kicking in the windshield.
So basically, he reenacted the last few
Despite Christopher's claims that he was jumping on the hood of his (now) ex-girlfriends' car to escape an attempt by her to
run him over, the fact that he has a history of beating up his own mom inclines me to believe that this was not the case.
As far as the bacon inspired assault is concerned, Christopher Rougeau
pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and battery and felony witness intimidation. He is currently serving a six month prison sentence for violating his probation (which he received during the first attack against his mother).
"I don't think that's too much to ask."
