Man Arraigned After Allegedly Stabbing Mother In Berrien Springs

The Berrien Springs Oronoko Township Police Department says that a man has been charged following the stabbing of his mother. At about 7:50 Wednesday night, officers responded to a call about domestic assault at Timber Ridge Manor, in the 86 thousand block of US-31. Upon arrival, they say they found that 68 year old Sharie Howard had been stabbed multiple times in the neck and abdomen areas by her 37 year old son, Paul Bryant Howard, who lived at the same location. The woman was taken to Lakeland Hospital for surgery, where she’s now in serious condition. The son was arrested and charged with assault with intent to murder. His arraignment took place Thursday in Berrien County Trial Court. He’s being held on 50 thousand dollar bond.
