An Athens man was arrested for assaulting his mother with a pork chop and then head-butting her for not buying him cigarettes, according to Athens-Clarke County police. Terry Bernard Ball Jr., 29, was arrested for simple battery and also charged with a probation violation from a prior case lodged six months earlier. According to police, Ball was eating a pork chop at his home on Simmons Street around 7:30 p.m. Monday when he became upset with his 60-year-old mother, police said. After throwing the piece of meat, Ball got up, pushed his mother and head-butted her, police said. Ball’s father intervened and restrained him until police arrived.
