October must be "kill your mom" month.
A man being sought in the stabbing death of his mother in Santa Rosa was arrested after he was found refusing to pay for a meal at a San Francisco restaurant, police said today.
Christopher Anthony Lavis, 41, was detained at a restaurant on the 100 block of Jefferson Street on Friday afternoon after he refused to pay, said Santa Rosa police Sgt. Lisa Banayat.
San Francisco police arrived, confirmed Lavis' identity and arrested him on a warrant in the slaying of his mother, Constance Elizabeth LaSalle. Santa Rosa police took custody of Lavis and booked him at Sonoma County Jail.
LaSalle, 63, was found dead in her apartment on the 300 block of Stony Point Road at about 9 p.m. Sept. 27. She had been stabbed numerous times.
Neighbors told police that LaSalle lived alone. There were no signs of forced entry into the apartment, police said.
LaSalle retired in 2005 from her job at Exchange Bank in Santa Rosa. She allowed her son - her only child - to stay with her at her home as he battled a methamphetamine addiction, her half-sister, Carol Mark of Oakland, said today.
But things soured when LaSalle found syringes in her home, Mark said.
"I believe him to be very, very sick," Mark said. "She was a very dedicted woman and she really tried to take care of her son."
