Alva Review-Courier -

A confrontation between mother and son resulted in charges being filed against a Jet woman. Bonnie Haworth, 50, of Jet has been charged with felony assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

According to court records, Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office received a phone call about 10:33 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 1, from Alicia Price. The caller said her husband, Josh Price, was just stabbed by her mother-in-law, Bonnie Haworth. She requested an ambulance and a deputy at her residence in Jet.

When Deputy Gary Mast arrived at the Price residence, he saw Josh Price sitting in front of his house in a lawn chair. He saw that Price had a bleeding wound about a half inch long on his left shoulder.

Price told the deputy that he and his wife had borrowed his mother’s Tahoe to take their child trick or treating the night before in Medford. Because it was so late, he did not return the vehicle until the next morning, Nov. 1. He said his mother started to argue with him. He said she was mad about something else and needed someone to be mad at. Price said he and his mother were arguing outside, and his mother was pulling on his shirt. He told her she ripped it so he was going to rip one of her shirts. He went inside to get one of her shirts.

Price told Deputy Mast he saw Haworth go into the kitchen and return waving a knife while yelling she was going to kill him. Price said he ran from the house trying to get away. He said when they got to the porch his mother swung the knife in a downward motion and stabbed him on his arm just below he left shoulder.

Price was taken by Alfalfa County EMS to St. Mary’s Hospital in Enid. A ripped shirt with blood on the left shoulder was recovered from his residence.

Mast spoke to Alicia Price and then went to meet with a witness who saw the altercation outside the Haworth residence. Mast then interviewed Haworth at her home.

Haworth gave a similar description of the altercation. However, she said she directed Price to leave, and he pushed her back. She said she pushed him out of the door. When Price returned to the house saying he would tear up her things, she said, she picked up the remote and ordered him out of the house.

When Price went to get his things from the vehicle, she said he was hyper-extending the door the wrong way. She was able to get the keys and lock the doors. She said Price was trying to get back in the house and she said no. She said he grabbed her right hand and thumb and bent her thumb backward. She said she had just had major reconstructive surgery on her right hand and is not completely healed. She said she got away and ran into the house and grabbed the first utensil she could find then ran out of the house chasing him. She said afterward, she ran back into the house and threw the utensil on the floor in the kitchen. Mast recovered a steak knife on the floor in the kitchen.

Haworth was arrested and taken to the Alfalfa County Jail.
