A Tennessee mother made the tough decision of handing her two sons over to the police after she saw them on a wanted poster for allegedly shooting at a police officer, per the NY Post

“I’m like ‘Are you serious? Aww hell no,’”

the unidentified mother told WMC, remembering the horrific moment when she witnessed her teenage son’s face on a wanted poster from Holly Springs police.

“I don’t play no games with them. If you want to do the crime, you gotta do the time. Plain and simple,”

she said.

The boys, aged 17 and 18, allegedly attempted to flee the police officer during a traffic stop. After firing two bullets, the suspects ran into the nearby woods on foot. Their faces were captured on a door camera of a nearby residence.

The day after the incident, the mother reported her teenagers to the authorities. Her boys have maintained their innocence, and she has faith that their names will be cleared once the investigation is complete.

“My child does not get in trouble. He don’t bother nobody. They don’t do nothing. All they do is play games. Stay home and play games. This is very new. This is very shocking,”

she said.

According to a report from WMC, the boys have been charged with committing aggravated assault against a police officer. The police have interviewed a third individual who is considered a person of interest in the case, but they have not been charged yet.
