A mother-son argument went from loud to violent to embarrassing recently in Lower Macungie Township, according to police.

Trouble began as Maryann Boone, 53, and Christopher Janney, 31, argued Sept. 8 inside the residence at 4255 East Texas Road, according to state police at Fogelsville. The 8:45 p.m. quarrel became physical when the mother held her son down on the floor. He subsequently bit her and spit in her face. The mother also bit her son once on each hand.

Janney was able to break free, police said, as he wriggled out of his clothing.

That maneuver might have seemed like a good idea until Boone ousted her son from the house -- naked -- until police arrived, troopers said.

Police cited both for harassment.
