Cops: Woman threatens son, mom over lost iPad

Angry over a lost iPad, a woman in Boca Raton threatened her mother and son with a knife, city police said.

Lisa Metzger, 41, faces charges of aggravated battery on a person 65 years and older and battery on multiple law enforcement officers in the Nov. 21 incident.

Metzger was released from the county jail on Nov. 22 after posting a $6,000 bond, according to jail records.

Boca police said they responded to a neighborhood next to Boca Raton Regional Hospital around 10 a.m. about a possible stabbing. Officers spoke with Metzger, who said she got into a verbal argument with her mother over an iPad. She said her son lost the device, which belonged to his school, and they owed $400 to replace it.

When Metzger’s mother offered to pay the money, Metzger told police she got angry because she thought her son should pay for it. She then said she pulled a knife on her son “to prove a point” because he was being verbally abusive, the arrest report stated.

Metzger then told officers that her son took the knife from her hand and left the house. Metzger’s mother told officers that she did not see the altercation between them, and when she went into the kitchen she saw Metzger holding a knife.

She said Metzger then raised her hand and told her, “I will kill you,” according to the arrest report.

When police placed Metzger under arrest, she kicked two officers in the legs — knocking one of them to the ground, according to the arrest report.
