A Kokomo man suspected of beating his mother to death said he did it because he was sick of her.
Ronald J. Calverts jail house confession came a day after Kokomo police arrested him on a charge of murder in the death of his mother, Joyce A. Philapy.
I killed her. I beat her to death, Calvert, 50, said in an interview with the Kokomo Tribune Thursday morning at the Howard County jail.
I just got sick of her, Calvert said, seated in a chair inside the jails library.
Dont you ever get sick and tired of someone? I kicked her and beat her to death. What else do you want to know?
When asked about details of his crime, Calvert became argumentative, shouted obscenities at a reporter and jail staff and asked to return to his cell.

This is not Calverts first run-in with the law.
According to Howard County jail records, Calvert has been incarcerated 13 times since 1991 on various charges including arson, auto theft, public intoxication and resisting law enforcement.
Calvert was convicted of arson and sentenced in 1993 to serve 12 years in prison.
Then in 1999, while serving his time in Westville Correctional Facility in LaPorte County, Calvert pleaded guilty to attempted escape and was sentenced to two additional years in prison. He was released in 2005, according to the Indiana Department of Correction.
His latest arrest came in 2010 on charges of leaving the scene of an accident and operating a vehicle while never receiving a license. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail and a year of probation, according to Howard County court records.

You mean the social security taken from their paychecks for 50 years, that was supposed to be kept separate and the accrued interest kept in the account - how is that 'stolen' from YOU?
Wow.

“With that standard there would not be many mothers walking aroung.”
Agreed. And I say that as a daughter AND a mother!
