R&B singer Mario, whose real name is Mario Dewar Bennett, was arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother Shawntia Hardaway at the apartment they share in Baltimore on Friday morning (October 1).

The 24 year-old and his mom, a former heroin addict, were apparently arguing when he started to damage property by breaking several items inside the apartment, which included a broken china cabinet, a mirror and a hole in the closet door, and pushing his mother around.

When the cops arrived, Shawntia told then her son had also attacked her earlier in the week, saying he pushed her “eight feet into a living room wall, where Ms. Hardaway hit her head on the wall.”

Mario was promptly arrested for second degree assault and was released on $50,000 bond. Maybe it’s time for Mario to take care of himself and get his own place… oh, and anger management classes.
