ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, Md. — Police say a Maryland man has been charged with killing his mother at their home.
Anne Arundel County police said in a statement Friday that a 25-year-old Brent Faulkner called 911 on Thursday and said that his mother had been killed and a suspect fled the home.
When officers arrived, police say Faulkner met them outside and his mother, 52-year-old Dona Faulkner, was found inside with apparent trauma. She was pronounced dead.
Through interviews and evidence, police say Brent Faulkner was identified as the suspect and charged with first- and second-degree murder. They say Dona Faulkner tried to defend herself during a struggle and detectives found fresh injuries on her son.
Faulkner's being held without bond pending a bail review Friday. His attorney didn't immediately return a call seeking comment
