Authorities report that the mother managed to flee a day after being attacked with a hammer, driving herself to a fire station, where she appeared with severe injuries.

A Baker County man is in the Baker County Jail after holding his mother prisoner for six days, according to a newly released arrest report. 

Cory Byron Lord, 34, is charged with kidnapping, false imprisonment, and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

The Baker County Sheriff’s Office says he held his mother hostage from July 23 to July 29. He was booked last Tuesday on August 5. 

The BCSO states that on July 29, an elderly woman reached a fire station in Glen St. Marys, showing injuries on her head and face. She informed the rescue team that her son had assaulted her with a hammer.

She was later interviewed by a BCSO sergeant and said she had been held at her home, where she lived with her son, since July 24, the report says.

The assault occurred on July 28, a day before her escape, according to the report. Photographic evidence reveals the woman had swelling on the right side of her face, causing her right eye to close. The report also noted she had “numerous noticeable bruises on her face” and “what seemed to be dried blood on the front of her clothing.”

BCSO mentions that Lord has a past marked by violent acts, including earlier arrests for domestic violence and assault, and has undergone “multiple” involuntary mental health assessments under the Baker Act.

Deputies went to the home to arrest Lord on July 29. After engaging with police, he barricaded himself inside, the arrest report says.

Undersheriff Randy Crews said the reason Lord was not booked until August 5 because he was bitten by a K9 during his arrest.

He recovered in the hospital from the bite and was then booked into the Baker County Detention Center.
