The Manning Police Department reported about 10:45 a.m. Dec. 29 that a 23-year-old man living on Huggins Street in Manning allegedly picked up a stool during an argument with his mother and attempted to hit the woman with it, but that family members present intervened to take the stool from him.
The woman told police that the two of them got into a verbal argument over $50, and that the young man was blaming his mother of taking the money from him.
