Michael Brown's mother has been named as one of the 'attackers' who assaulted and robbed vendors selling t-shirts commemorating the youngster's death.
A report from Ferguson police identified Lesley McSpadden, 34, as one of a group of up to 30 people that ran into the tent and ransacked the stall in the Missouri city on Saturday October 18.
Pearlie Gordon, 54, Brown's mother-in-law, and two men were selling 'Justice for Mike Brown' merchandise when the subjects 'jumped out of vehicles and rushed them' during what police are classifying as an armed robbery.
According to the document obtained by the Smoking Gun, Gordon told police that McSpadden approached her and said, 'You can't sell this s****.'
In response, Gordon reiterated that she was Michael's mother-in-law and said that unless McSpadden had a patent with her son's name on it, she would continue to sell the merchandise.
Then McSpadden's mother, Desureia Harris, began to rip down t-shirts hanging on a line, Gordon told officers.
While doing it she said: 'You don't know my grandson like that.'
Then other members of the group joined in and also began 'tearing her booth apart.'
Gordon told the authorities that she was repeatedly struck in the head and knocked to the ground.
More than $1500 in merchandise and $400 in cash 'was stolen by unknown subjects' who managed to escape before police arrived.
A witness who saw the alleged assault while waiting at a red signal said that she saw subjects 'punching' the t-shirt vendors.
The investigation into the incident - which has been classed as an armed robbery - is ongoing.
Two days ago it was announced that McSpadden and the slain youngster's father Michael Brown Senior would be speaking at a human rights conference in Switzerland.

“youngster”???
The apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree.
I was just about to comment about that. It’s not like he was 6 or something...
Kind of have sympathy for her. No body should profit from her son’s death. I hope this doesn’t keep her from making that all expense paid trip to the UN in Switzerland.
Didn’t Roman Polanski find safe haven against US charges by lingering in Switzerland? Maybe she will stay there and never return, a fugitive from justice.
This little family incident will probably make Thanksgiving dinner a bit awkward.
Throw her fat can in the can when she gets back from bad-mouthing the USA in Switzerland.
It's part of their culture and religion, along with shooting each other and burning their own houses down.
Whites just wouldn't understand.
Trayvon’s momma got a million bucks. I gots to gets mine!
I wasn't aware that the "youngster" (Michael Brown) was married.
Her “I just won on Wheel Of Fortune” mentality doesn’t come as a surprise.
They never stop with the lies, do they.
It seems to be reflexive with the Left ... lie about anything and everything, even when it isn’t ‘necessary’.
LOL! Maybe she can bring this up at the UN?
Just like her criminal son. . . . . .
Polanski is a French citizen, France won't deport a citizen to the U.S.
Wait a minute, this guy was what, 16, 17 years old, right? How does he come to have a “mother-in-law”?
Does this mean she won’t be going to Geneva to lecture humanity on civil rights?
