HOLLAND, Mich. — A Holland mother now faces charges of open murder and resisting and obstructing an officer in the death of her son on Friday morning.
It all started at 4:15 a.m. Friday when officers with Holland Public Safety were called to an apartment for a domestic incident and were immediately confronted by a woman with a knife. Her son's body was found inside.
It happened at the Bay Pointe Apartment Complex on 16th Street.
According to their report, the 39-year-old woman ignored multiple demands to drop the knife, leading officers to deploy a taser to subdue her and take her into custody.
That's when officers say they entered the apartment and found the body of her 17-year-old son.
Officers have not released the name of either the woman or the victim, until she is arraigned in court.
Late Friday afternoon Holland Police announced that detectives had determined the case to be a homicide.
