70-Year-Old Mother, Daughter Argue About Money, Drugs

A 39-year-old Milwaukee woman turned to Greenfield police officers for help with her 70-year-old mother following an incident at her mother’s Greenfield apartment.

She told police her mother tried to choke or strangle her, but it turns out the daughter wasn’t squeaky clean herself.

The result: municipal citations for both women.

According to the report, the 39-year-old came to the police department at approximately 6:20 p.m. Aug. 27, and proceeded to tell police that two days earlier, her mother called her and asked her to pick up some marijuana and deliver it to her.

The daughter said she picked up approximately one gram of marijuana, packed it in a pipe and delivered it to her mother’s apartment in the 4900 block of South Greenbrook Terrace. She told police she then asked her mother for cab fare and other money she claimed her mother owed her.

Her mother eventually gave her daughter $43, but after doing so, she allegedly grabbed her daughter by the neck, in front of the daughter’s two young children.

The 70-year-old told police her daughter called her and told her she wanted to come over and smoke marijuana with her and eventually started arguing. She admitted to grabbing her daughter’s lower jaw and holding her mouth shut.

A police officer also confiscated non-prescription narcotics from the apartment.

The daughter received a municipal citation for delivery of a controlled substance and the mother was cited for disorderly conduct after the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office decided against criminal charges.
