PLATTSBURGH — A Plattsburgh man is facing felony charges for allegedly striking his mother in the head with a sharp object hooked to a bicycle chain after she made a comment about "American Idol."
Cory K. Favreau, 24, of 200A Margaret St. was discussing the television show "American Idol" with his mother, Jan M. Chagnon, on May 24 at about 10:15 p.m., according to Plattsburgh City Court records.
At that time, Chagnon told Favreau that a particular contestant, Katharine McPhee, was going to have a successful career despite losing to another contestant, Taylor Hicks.
Favreau allegedly stood up, made a malicious comment to his mother and struck her in the head with a sharpened, cross-shaped object attached to a bicycle chain.
Court records say that Favreau and Chagnon were drinking alcohol at the time.
Chagnon was treated at CVPH Medical Center for a cut to the top of her head and was released.
Favreau was charged with second-degree assault and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon. He was sent to Clinton County Jail, where he was still being held Wednesday for lack of $5,000 cash bail.
Chagnon had told City Police she did not want to press charges because she said her son did not intend to hurt her. Police can press charges themselves in cases where they feel it is warranted.
Favreau was convicted in Clinton County Court in 2003 of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and sentenced to a year in jail.
He is scheduled to reappear June 5 in City Court.
Sounds like Taylor Hicks' "Soul Patrol" is getting armed ready for battle.
He's 24 years old. That's too old to be living at home. Boot him out and let him find his way.
Drunk families that fight!
Now this is news!
At least your were arguing over an important issue! I've never watched this American Idol nonsense, but I can't imagine attacking one's mother over something as stupid as a television show.
Games drunk rednecks play...

Mother and son with different surnames. Why, one ponders rhetorically, does this seem to be a common theme in "idiots gone wild" stories?
that fat chick gets everyone upset! :)
He was right to be angry. She was mistaken.
LOL! Though there were a couple that probably deserved it! just kidding. Cory Favreau, Jon's disturbed little brother.
LMAO!!
I would have expected this kind of behavior from Bucky's fans, but not Taylors! ;)
I am shocked. Shocked!
LOL! Exactly!

I had to forbid discussion of Elian around me, since my otherwise perfectly sensible family kept insisting that "it's right for him to be back with his father," all evidence that he wouldn't BE back with his father notwithstanding.
