LYNN – A 60-year-old city woman was held without bail Thursday after police said she attacked her son with several objects, including a spiked club, before stabbing the man because he was drinking and possibly smoking pot in the house.”She was screaming and yelling out of control, and she stated, ?I stabbed my son, I didn’t mean to, I stabbed my son,” Lynn Police Officer Max Saravia wrote in a report.Lita Simms, 60, of 44 Essex St. #3A, was arrested and charged with domestic assault and battery, no abuse-prevention order in effect; assault with a dangerous weapon, a fire extinguisher; assault with a dangerous weapon, a mace; assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, a broomstick; assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, a knife; and armed assault to murder; at 12:45 a.m. Thursday.She was arraigned on the charges Thursday in Lynn District Court where a plea of not guilty was entered on her behalf, according to court documents.Police responded to the Essex Street address and found the alleged victim lying in the hallway.

Police said Simms was in the door screaming and told officers she was having drinks with the alleged victim when a witness came in for coffee.Simms allegedly told officers her son went to his room to smoke pot and, when he returned to the kitchen, she told him to leave the apartment because she didn’t want drugs in the house. An argument ensued. (The witness did not mention anything about marijuana, however, according to Officer Thomas Holland’s report. The witness said the alleged victim spilled his drink, prompting his mother to pour it out and try and push him out of the house for not being able to hold his liquor, according to Holland’s report.)The witness told police Simms grabbed a mace (a club with spikes on it) from the kitchen and threatened the alleged victim, according to police. Police said the witness reported that Simms then hit the alleged victim with a broom, tried to hit the alleged victim with a fire extinguisher after the alleged victim purposely knocked over the flat-screen television, punched and yelled at the alleged victim, and then got a knife and stabbed the alleged victim twice.Simms told police the alleged victim punched her and threatened her with the mace. The victim said he was attacked, according to police.A prosecutor requested Simms be held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing, which the court-appointed defense attorney did not contest.Judge David Dunbar Livingston ordered Simms held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing Feb. 7.
