A man from Dudley, Massachusetts is facing a long list of charges after
police say he hit his 67-year-old mother on the head with nunchucks
because she wouldn’t give him money for alcohol.
Christopher Walker, 31, allegedly hit his mother with the martial arts
weapon at their home. While breaking property inside the house, he also
struck his mother on the left side of her head, police said.
Several police departments, including the State Police were called to
the home because Walker is known to police. When police knocked on the
door, Walker allegedly opened the door ajar, allowing a large pit bull
to run toward the door, nearly biting an officer. Walker then shut the
door and locked it, refusing to surrender. The SWAT team was called in
and nearby homes were evacuated as a precaution. At one point, Walker
was spotted outside his home wearing a red bandana around his face, a
camouflage vest and sweat pants.
Police say Walker was acting agitated, nervous, and said he had a gun
and wanted to die. A short time later, police say Walker exited the
front door of the home, holding a handgun. He allegedly pointed it in
the direction of two officers who were positioned across the street from
the home. Police say three shots were fired and Walker retreated inside
the home. Police believe the shots were fired by officers, they said.
Walker eventually surrendered on his own and was taken to UMass. Medical
Center with minor injuries. During a search of the home, police found
martial arts weapons, replica BB handguns, a ballistic vest and other
items. Walker was not licensed to carry firearms or possess ammunition.
Walker is charged with assault and battery on a person over 60 years
old, carrying a dangerous weapon (nunchucks), assaulting a police
officer, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon (gun), disorderly
conduct, disturbing the peace, vandalizing property, resisting arrest,
body armor used in a felony and unlawful possession of ammunition.
