Mom turns in son after seeing him on the news

OHIO — A mother didn't think twice when she saw her son on the news, involved in an apparent armed robbery.

The Ohio mom, Temple Washington, said the video showed her son pointing a gun at a clerk inside a store. The video then showed her son take off with the money and the clerk's cell phone.

After seeing the video, Washington went and found her son asleep in her garage and called police.

"It wasn't easy for me to call," Washington said, "but I  knew that was the right thing for me to do."

Washington said her son has battled drug addiction for years and believes that's why he tried to rob the store. She said knowing he's in jail brings her comfort because she knows where he is.
