FERGUSON, Mo. (CN) - Police are investigating an assault allegedly involving Michael Brown's mother that happened Saturday.
The incident happened at about 8:15 p.m. in the parking lot of a barbeque restaurant, just blocks where Brown was killed.
KTVI-TV reported that Brown's grandmother Pearlie Gordon was selling T-shirts and other Michael Brown merchandise with Brown's cousin Tony Petty.
A car pulled up and several people got out, including Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, according to a police report. A witness described McSpadden yelling: "You can't sell this [expletive]."
One of the relatives who was selling the merchandise is said to have demanded McSpadden show a document proving she had a patent, at which point an unidentified person with McSpadden assaulted Petty with a metal pipe or pole.
A 911 call ensued, KTVI reported.
Medics then took Petty to a hospital. A witness said the assault suspect grabbed merchandise and a box of cash believed to contain about $1,400.
Anthony D. Gray, an attorney for the Brown family, declined to comment to KTVI.
The fatal shooting of Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old black teenager, by white Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9, sparked nearly three months of daily protests against police brutality and racial profiling.
This seems worthy of a Satire Alert!
But I guess it’s true?
A little different twist on not letting a good crisis go to waste...
Black trash.
Many different places are reporting it.

It’s ALWAYS about the $$$$$$$$$.
Dallahs, dallahs.
How come no one’s last name is Brown?
Pants down, let’s LOOT!
Yep.
With what is going on in NYC I wish these Ferguson idiots would just go away.

“You can’t sell this (expletive), only I can sell this (expletive)”
Somebody ping CNN’s Carol Costello. If she got a kick out of Bristol Palin being shoved to the ground and dragged around by some drunken thug, she should REALLY get some grins over this donnybrook.
The cousin has a patent?
You can't make this stuff up.
The “Michael Brown Trail of Tears, Inc.” corporate spat.
What a family of complete feral losers.
I would suspect that a “copyright” or “trademark” might be more appropriate than a patent.
Such class..
You got it!
….a turf war between profiteering family members who are all in it for the money. I wonder which side is offering the largest bribes to Jesse Jackson.
