Thanks Mom! I’m Going To Prison Now!

Shaun Michael Smith
Bonita Springs, FL–Shaun Smith, 30, has a mean mommy. Can you believe she had the nerve to attempt to flush darling Shaun’s drugs down the toilet? I mean, after all, he did break a protective order she had placed on him just to come visit her. What an ungrateful mother.

evening, 911 dispatchers received a call about a domestic disturbance. A woman could be heard screaming in the background before the connection was lost. The dispatcher called the number back and a woman answered, saying she was locked in a bathroom and scared. Shaun’s voice joined the conversation…’She’sShe reviews in the bathroom. She will not come out and she’s flushing my meds.’
When cops rolled onto the scene, they could hear shouting coming from the home. They heard a woman yell ’stop, don’t hurt me,’ and ‘get away from me.’ Fearing for the woman’s safety, they broke down the door and entered with weapons drawn. They saw a woman, Shauns mother, on the floor at the top of the stairs and Shaun standing over her. Shaun was screaming, ‘Where are my drugs?!?!’ The cops ordered him to get away from the woman and come down the stairs, but he wouldn’t budge. ‘I’m not going anywhere until she gives me the rest of my pills!’
After being ordered down a second time, Shaun relented. When officers searched him they found pill bottles with methadone, marijuana, and suspected crack cocaine. Now he was really butt-hurt! He became violent and started screaming, ‘Thanks mom!! I’m going to prison now!’ After attempting to pull away from a deputy, Shaun remarked, ‘Just let me run away and shoot me.’ A crack pipe fell out of his pocket amid all the fracas.
After being placed in a squad car, he started kicking the window. When the cops opened the door, he began kicking at them, yelling ‘just fucking shoot me!’ He calmed down a bit after a dose of pepper spray to the face. Now the cops had to haul him out of the car and wash the pepper spray out of his eyes. It was then that he tried to bolt. Not a good idea. Another shot of pepper spray to the face and some shackles around his ankles and he finally shut the hell up.
He is now throwing his temper tantrum in jail, where he is facing charges of drug possession, assault and violation of a protective order his mother has against him, misdemeanor violation of pre-trial release condition on the domestic violence, misdemeanor resisting a law enforcement officer, assault with the intent to do violence. These aren’t marks on an otherwise clean record either, Shaun has had quite a few run-ins with the law. You can find his arrest record here. What an asshole.

OMG! This guy is just unbelievable! What a way to make my day…
9:17 am on December 17th, 2008
LOL! If I’d been his mom, I would have replied, “Anytime, sweetie!” Oh man…that almost sounds like it could be the title of a comedy movie. “Thanks, Mom! I’m Going To Prison!”
Of course, the situation isn’t funny at all. A son assaulting his mother, doing drugs, attacking cops. Doesn’t crack a smile. I know his type. I think everyone has met someone like him at one point or another in their lives. Can’t take responsibility for his own actions–it’s always someone else’s fault. He blames his mom for his incarceration, but truly, his own bad decisions are what put him in prison.

You know how much Bubba loves the scent of that pepper spray cologne.
9:27 am on December 17th, 2008
Is it too late for an intervention for him? Or do we even care? LOL. What amazes me is how people (the mother in this case) allow these unpreditcable drug addicts in & out of their lives and then cry disbelief when shit like this happens! Don’t you people watch A&E?! Nothing matters to addicts but drugs…not their kids, not their parents, certaainly not their dignity or self respect….if that were my son he wouldn’t get through the front door. I have zero tolerance for bullshit and that’s exactly what it is dealing w/ drug addicts…you are setting yourself up for failure, disappointment, heartache…who needs or wants that? No thanks!

If my parents had given up on me, like you are suggesting you would do to your children, I would be dead.
Luckily, though, my parents never stopped loving me. Through all of the terrible things that I did to them, all of the times that I disappointed them, my broken promises that “this time would be different”- they never gave up on me.
I’m glad that you would be so willing to give up on your children like that. I hope that you never have any.
Also, I don’t think you read the story or this dude’s arrest record, either. He violated an order of protection that his mother had against him. “If that were my son he wouldn’t get through the door”. What would you do? Shoot him? CALL THE COPS LIKE SHE DID?
I mean, seriously. What else could she have done?
Go, Mom, for giving your kid some tough love.
Sorry he’s a dick.
I always have hope for these people, because I know it’s possible for drug addicts to get better and make a life for themselves… but so many of them don’t. They stop caring. And they either get thrown in prison for the rest of their lives, or die. It’s sad.

this guy needs to go to jail, then maybe he can get away from those pills hes so protective over. maybe prison will actually make him better, he will be wishing he had those pills after bubba gets a hold of him!

I agree with KBawesome. I was a drug addict for many years, and though I was a high functioning addict (I held down good jobs, paid my bills, never stole or cheated), I still needed to reform myself once I decided to become a parent. There are good people out there who make really bad choices. We don’t know why, we don’t do it on purpose, and we certainly don’t set out to hurt anyone or ourselves. Unfortunately once the drugs take over, you lose sight of who you are.
On the opposite end, there are people who cannot kick their habit no matter how hard they try. They go from wonderful normal people who have great jobs or own highly profitable businesses to living on the street, stealing, lying, cheating, assaulting other people to get their next fix. I has a lot to do with chemical balances in the brain.
My friends and family stood by me no matter what, and though they didn’t enable me, they made me take responsibility for my own actions. Once I wanted to be a mom, I knew that I no longer mattered, and all that would matter for the rest of my life was my kid. I then cleaned up, and have been clean ever since. I had the willpower and sttrength to do this, but not everyone does.

30 year old has a temper-fit…aaaw, like I’m going to feel for you NOT.
Grow up you stupid, whiny, ass-hole! what mother needs is to get your father on you for a good ass-whoop’n!
What a loser, I think he’ll be doing some growing-up in prison.
11:33 am on December 17th, 2008
I for one agree with philly_phan. I have no doubt this loser has been terrorizing his family for years with his drug addiction. Let the courts take care of him or let him figure it out on his own. He’s 30 years old! How many years does this family put up with his crap. The mother had a protective order in place meaning this is probably a pattern of behavior and not a one time event. He’s a loser – let him go.

I’ve always heard that addicts have to hit rock bottom before they want help for themselves. I’d say this guy is there.
2:18 pm on December 17th, 2008
He has some ways to go yet. Rock bottom is when you actually look like an addict rather than a spoilt Momma’s boy.
I cannot imagine what it must take for a mother to take a protection order out against her child. That must be hard, even where there is absolutely no doubt it is necessary, – like here.
2:30 pm on December 17th, 2008
Wow, that’s crazy. The way some people react of drugs is unbelievable ya know. Hopefully he will finally get some help, but I agree that he has to want help first.
3:45 pm on December 17th, 2008
There’s a happy medium, here. You can love and support your drug addicted child without subjecting yourself to their violent tendencies.
So, you were a drug addict. Did you assault your parents? Did you make them fear for their safety? If you did, then they should have put some distance between them and you. Subjecting yourself to abuse, to theft or threats, helps no one.
That’s what happened, here. This woman’s history with her son was cause enough for a protective order. She should have called the police the second he touched her lawn, not AFTER letting him in her house to assault her. This was not tough love – she gave in yet again and was forced to call police. Stupid step number 2? She exited the bathroom before police arrived.
I mean, let’s be real, here – You’re scared to death of your kid. You’ve had some altercations, some of which have been violent and you’re driven to file for a protective order, which is easily granted given the circumstances. Later, you not only greet this person you’re scared to death of and let him into your home, you do something to provoke him like take his drugs and flush them.
Poor, poor, poor judgment on this woman’s behalf. Actually, that’s just down-right retarded.

Oh I would have loved to be a fly on that wall. Give me a break. Could he be the same guy that called 911 to report his Marijuana stolen? This has to be filed under STUPID.

Smartest thing Momma can do while Junior’s locked up is move away and leave no forwarding address.
9:19 pm on December 17th, 2008
I totally agree, Athena.
I did not mean to convey that the parent of a drug addict should subject themselves to their child’s violent behavior. That’s just retarded.
I was responding to a comment left by another reader in which the reader commented that they wouldn’t have anything to do with their child if they were a drug addict. They basically said that drug addicts didn’t change so, you should just give up on them.
I wasn’t talking about the mother of Mr. Smith here. She was obviously trying to put some distance between herself and her scary son, who had assaulted her in the past. Good for her! But, an order of protection is just a piece of paper and not a bullet proof vest. When he came knocking on her door (or breaking into her house, the write-up doesn’t specifiy HOW, exactly, he got in there) she should have called the police immediately. Just as you said, provoking a strung-out drug addict by flushing his “medication” down the toliet wasn’t exactly the best plan ever.
Anyway, just wanted to clear that up.
I agree with you! I guess I just didn’t explain myself well enough.

Sadly,
this reminds me of my older half brother.
He passed away in August.
I went through years of this kind of crap with him.
Showing up trashed to my house then claim he “wanted to stop”
He’d go to rehab and then a few weeks later he’d be back on drugs.
He went to Rehab 9 times.After a while i told him to not call me/come visit unless he was sober.
This last time in July I really thought was different for some reason.
He showed up at my house completely sober,happy and seemingly focused on the goal of sobriety and went into rehab the next day
He promised he’d do whatever they wanted and complete the program offered.
After two weeks in rehab they found him dead in his bed.
The autopsy revealed he shot morphine.
I was astounded.Drug overdose in REHAB?
Sometimes like in the case of my brother people just don’t care what they lose.
The drugs are always more important.
In the course of his addiction he lost many things.
He continued to live at his mom’s because he kept losing jobs.They fought all the time sometimes violently because she wanted him to quit.When it got too hot over there he thought he could show up over here.And for a while i did feel bad and would nurse him back(after I rounded up my valuables).
But after a while I realized that wasn’t helping matters.I told him drugs /alcohol or me.
He was not allowed to attend my wedding or other important events.
it was hard but I thought he’d get sick of being left out of things and start to miss me and get his shit together…Boy was I wrong!
He had a lot going for him and was a good person but the drugs took hold and nothing else mattered anymore.
When you are on drugs your moral bank account gets over drawn.
You will steal from your grandma,mom anybody who has something you can sell/use to get your fix.
In my brother’s case he once stole morphine patches from our dying father ate them and almost died.He was unconscious for two days.
Drugs are just evil!
I won’t even touch a single beer.

A Bubbaku:
Thanks, Mom, I’m in jail.
My drugs are down the toilet.
Will you post my bail?
4:59 pm on December 20th, 2008
You’re right. The person disappears and all that is left is a black hole that craves drugs, more and more drugs. Everything and everyone becomes a tool to be used to get those drugs. I am very sorry that you lost your brother in this manner. I have had to deal with it in friends and now elderly relatives. It’s the worst.
Think you got something worth saying? Type it out. If you don't wanna look lame, get rid of that default avatar and go get you a gravatar! Tell 'em Morbid sent ya'. Lastly, as far as we are concerned, posting a comment means that you have read our Disclaimer.
