An Indiana man was charged for allegedly attempting to suffocate his mother with plastic wrap in an effort to “convince her that he was not a little boy and that she couldn’t push him around.”
According to WXIN, Dylan L. Moles, 27, was arrested shortly after the attack before fleeing the home he shared with his mother, which occurred less than two weeks after he had bonded out of jail.
Police say officers responded to the home late Friday afternoon and found the woman, who was “visibly injured.” She told officers that her son had tried to kill her.
According to her account, she was sitting at her computer desk when Moles attacked her from behind, punching her in the head, putting her in a headlock, and dragging her to a bed, and attempting to suffocate her with plastic wrap covering her nose and mouth.
Police observed visible redness and injuries on the woman’s face, as well as a roll of plastic wrap near the scene. She was taken to Ball Memorial Hospital with a possible skull fracture.
Witnesses at the scene confirmed the woman’s account, saying Moles left the house “calmly” after the attack.
Once in custody, Moles admitted to the assault, claiming that he believed his mother had stolen $1,000 from his CashApp account, a charge she denied. He stated that he had planned the attack and had used his Brazilian jiu-jitsu training to inflict damage. Moles also claimed that he “never intended to hurt” his mother, but stopped the assault when he heard others in the house.
Police noted in their report that Moles showed no remorse for his actions and did not inquire about his mother’s condition.
Moles has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery, domestic battery, and strangulation. He remains in custody, though bond details were not immediately available.
Court records indicate that Moles has a lengthy criminal history, with multiple charges dating back to 2014. Most recently, he faced charges of residential entry and criminal trespass on November 18. Despite his extensive record, he was released on a $350 cash bond for those charges.
Presumption of Innocence: A presumption of innocence means that any defendant in a criminal trial is presumed to be innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The defendant in this case is only accused of the charges set forth in the criminal complaint. They are innocent until proven guilty.
