A teenager from Wisconsin is facing accusations of attacking his mother with a 2-foot-long hedge trimmer. The altercation allegedly occurred after he became “pissed” due to her removing his rap videos from YouTube, resulting in injuries to her face, head, arms, and back, as per police reports.

According to a criminal complaint, Ramone Waupoose, aged 16, displayed concerning behavior before the supposed stabbing incident on July 16 at their home in Suamico. This document was accessed by local ABC and Fox networks WBAY and WLUK, respectively, on Wednesday after Waupoose’s arrest.

The charges against the teen include attempted first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree reckless injury, both involving the use of a dangerous weapon, according to information from online court records. In Wisconsin, individuals between 10 and 16 years old are automatically prosecuted in adult court for attempted first-degree intentional homicide.

Authorities report that the alleged attack followed Waupoose’s return home by police after a previous runaway incident on July 14, which was a Monday night. The mother informed officers that Waupoose was “pissed about being brought back,” and also angry over the deletion of his rap videos from YouTube.

The mother expressed concerns about Waupoose’s escalating hostility. “Ramone went to his room, and despite my texts inviting him to come eat, he responded with ‘no,'” she explained. “I advised him to stay home, keeping an eye on him through surveillance cameras.”

Over the next day, Waupoose was acting “creepier” and more suspicious, according to his mother. “When he ate he was pacing like a caged tiger,” the woman said, noting how she “started to gather up all the knives, any sharp kitchen utensils, or anything sharp.” She also took a drill and other tools and locked them in her car.

“I watched the cameras and saw Ramone go to the garage and was searching for something,” the mom said. “He was looking around the toolbox and a mattress that was leaned up next to it. His whole behavior really freaked me out. The sheers he found must have been behind the mattress.”

Authorities say Waupoose allegedly attacked his mom in the early hours of July 16 with a 2-foot-long set of pruning shears. Cops investigating the scene observed blood near the shears. Waupoose allegedly lured his mother to an electrical box inside their home after turning off the power to the residence.

The woman managed to escape with her 12-year-old son, Waupoose’s brother, after running out of the home and driving away, police said. The criminal complaint accused Waupoose of having messages on his phone about killing his ex-girlfriend and plans to send a video of him killing his mother and brother, per WBAY.

Waupoose was being held on a $50,000 cash bond this week as he awaits his next court date on Aug. 25. He’s reportedly due back for a competency hearing.
