Man, 26, in custody after punching mother during fight about toilet paper

by The AV Times Staff • April 8, 2020

SAUGUS – A 26-year-old Saugus man was jailed for allegedly punching his mother during a fight over the family’s toilet paper supply.

Deputies were called to the residence near Plum Canyon Road and Mirabelle Lane in Saugus about 3 a.m. Monday, April 6, according to Shirley Miller of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

The son had accused the mother of hiding the family’s toilet paper, which has become a hot commodity nationwide amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The argument escalated and he allegedly punched her, according to Miller.

The woman later told deputies she hid toilet paper from her son, adding that he uses too much, according to Miller.

Adrian Yan was arrested on suspicion of battery, Miller said. The victim declined medical treatment at the scene.

Deputies have been responding to many reports of family violence as people are crammed together in their homes during the shelter-in-place directive, according to Miller.

“It was to be expected, it’s happening everywhere,” Miller said.

Sheriff Alex Villanueva recently expressed concerns about an anticipated increase in domestic violence with families isolated together in their homes to ride out the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Lucky for him there is free toilet paper in jail. There is also free food and showers. He does not even have to pay rent. Respect your mothers people.
