The driver charged with killing a woman at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville was previously accused of beating his mother and threatening her with a knife, according to police records released Monday.

Authorities say 20-year-old James Alex Fields Jr. rammed his car into a crowd of counter-protesters on Saturday in Charlottesville, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer.

The records from the Florence Police Department in Kentucky show the man's mother had called police in 2011. Fields' mother, Samantha Bloom, told police he stood behind her wielding a 12-inch knife. Bloom is disabled and uses a wheelchair.

In another incident in 2010, Bloom said that Fields smacked her in the head and locked her in the bathroom after she told him to stop playing video games. Bloom told officers Fields was on medication to control his temper.

Money left to him in a will, which he got at 18.

“I did hear some of the MSM yesterday suggesting that POTUS should label the car driver/driving event as domestic terrorism.”

Both National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster and Attorney General Jeff Sessions have already done that.

His mother is confined to a wheel chair? Look on the bright side; at least he didn't pull push a "Tommy Udo".

Anyone supporting White Supremacists and/or Nazism is a POS. That includes some posters here on FR.

Both my Grandfathers put bullets in the heads of these Nazi scum 75 years ago

I'm with you. I cannot fathom how anyone who grew up in the USA could ever embrace the swastika. It's disgusting.
