Cops: Man holds mom hostage because she won't iron his clothes

A 29-year-old Villa Rica man apparently expected his mother to iron his clothes for him. And when she wouldn't, he pulled a gun and held her hostage for several hours, police said.

Robert Edward Tyrrell Jr. remained in jail Wednesday without bond, Sgt. Marc Griffith with the Carroll County Sheriff's Office told the AJC. Tyrell faces aggravated assault and false imprisonment following the June 30 incident, Griffith said.

"He wanted her to do some ironing, and when she said ‘no,' they got into an argument," Griffith said. "He told her ‘ironing is woman's work.' "

Tyrell, who lives with his parents, then pulled out a gun and took his 51-year-old mother's keys and cellphones, Griffith said. The man refused to let the woman leave for at least six hours, investigators said.

“Mama finally said, ‘I’m not ironing your clothes,' and he went cuckoo on her," Griffith said.

The woman was later able to get out of the home and drive to a police station to report the incident, and deputies were dispatched to the home. Eventually, Tyrrell surrendered without incident, Griffith said.

This fool needs to get married.

Then his WIFE can iron his clothers for him.

Problem solved.

51 year old mom = "baby boomer"

29 year old son = "Generation X"

Looks like we have a topic for the Generation X ping list and a nice discussion of how heroic Generation Xers are being oppressed by evil boomers. The lad deserves service from his tyrannical mom for forcing him to grow up under the rigors of playing primitive video games.

Prime example of someone who needed a good but whooping as a kid. He needs a woman to slap him up side his head a few good times. . .

Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother...

It is not optional

Honor thy father and thy mother:
that thy days may be long upon the land
which the LORD thy God giveth thee,

Exodus 20:12.

My daughter brings over pastries with her ironing. It’s all in the approach.
