Not Competent: Alexander Sparks Killed His Mama Said She “ Was A Bad Influence ” On Him

[Sugar Cookie]

A 22-year-old Florida man said his mother “was a bad influence” on him. So he sneaked into her hospital room and stabbed her to death.

Alexander Sparks, who lives in Tallahassee, was arrested Friday night and charged with premeditated murder by the Leon County Sheriff’s Office.

Liese Sparks, 57, was a patient at Capital Regional Medical Center on Friday. According to the police report, her son was accused of snagging a surgical mask and gloves out of a supply cabinet at a nurses’ station. Cops say that Sparks put on the gloves and mask and went into his mother’s room on the hospital’s fourth floor at about 10 p.m.

Alexander Sparks was in her room for several minutes until nurses were alerted by the sound of her heart monitor beeping. A nurse “immediately” went to check on Liese Sparks and retreated from the room. A few seconds later, Alexander Sparks walked out of his mother’s room, clutching a knife, the report said.

He placed the knife on a nurse’s desk in the hallway. As he continued down the hall, he was met at the elevator by a Leon County deputy who happened to be working in an off-duty capacity at the hospital, according to the report.

Liese Sparks was dead from what appeared to be multiple stab wounds, the report said.

Leon County Sheriff’s Lt. Grady Jordan told The Tallahassee Democrat Sparks brought the knife to the hospital and said Sparks told detectives his mother was a bad influence on him.

Liese Sparks was disabled and homebound, and had lived alone with her son since moving to Tallahassee in 1994.

Alexander Sparks, whose report lists no previous arrests, is being held without bond at the Leon County Detention Facility.

All I got is ... Oh well, at least he is went to visit.

He doesn't look that concerned in his picture. I wonder if he is on suicide watch ?

His elevator falls a few floors shy of the top.

No, he was just a bad seed. His mother was in hospital ffs, what could she do to 'influence' him?

He's just a matricidal lunatic.

My mother was a bad influence on me, but I just cut her out of my life. To each his own.

I wonder if the hospital was planning to discharge mom and he decided he couldn’t care for her anymore.

Well, that's definitely one way to prove his point.
