GARLAND COUNTY, AR - A woman previously arrested for allegedly threatening her 14-year-old son with a knife was arrested again after allegedly attacking another victim at their home.

Police say 35-year-old Tamra Elizabeth Thacker, 35, was arrested at her residence, shortly after 7 p.m. on May 24, and was charged with third-degree domestic battery. As of Friday, Thacker was still being held without bond.

Thacker had been released on a $2,500 bond after her arrest Wednesday on a misdemeanor charge of aggravated assault on a family or household member for allegedly threatening her son with a knife after he told police he hid her pills from her. The victim told Garland County Sheriff’s deputies Thacker had overdosed on pills in March and was hospitalized.

The teen was placed with a family member by DHS, but later returned to the home after Thacker was released.

Thacker is set to appear June 5 in Garland County District Court on both charges.

You spank a child, on the butt with your hands and the child will be taken away from you; threaten your child with deadly force using a butcher knife and the child remains in the home. The child needs to be removed from that hell hole; the mother needs sent to prison.

@wpsark... I couldn't agree more with you. My first and most concern is her son. I hope the family fights for guardenship/custody for him and hopefully their not violent, no good crap like her. Hopefully this young man can receive counceling so he can have a successful life.

I feel so sorry for the kid, having a mother like that...I hope the rest of his family is better than that piece of trash.

How many more times will he have to be taken out of the home before she finally kills him? She's tried twice. Think she might actually stay in jail this time????

Did you ever look at some people and think "THAT'S the reason contraceptives were invented" ?
