At least one family's Thanksgiving dinner was disrupted by a fight over politics.

A 39-year-old Murfreesboro man got into an argument with his brother after Thanksgiving dinner that turned physical while discussing politics.

The 39-year-old man told Murfreesboro Police his mother and brother assaulted him and prevented him from leaving after the argument. The victim said “he was attempting to leave when his mother grabbed him, shook him and held him down at which point his brother grabbed his cell phone when he stated he was going to call police,” according to the incident report.

The man's brother said their mother was attempting to keep the victim from driving under the influence after an argument about politics.

“When (the mother) realized she could not physically stop him from leaving, she fell to the ground in front of the door and pleaded with him not to leave,” the report said.

The brother stepped in at that point, grabbed the victim and said: “Look at what you're doing to mom!”

By then, the victim had called the police to report an assault.

“(The brother) stated … he was attempting to show (the victim) how distraught his mother was,” the report said.

Because the 39-year-old man was drunk and there was no physical evidence of an assault no one was arrested and all refused transport to a safe place. But all parties were told about the Domestic Violence Program.
