Matthew Beider

The mother, 56, told police her son, Matthew Beider, had asked her to pick her up from a bar.

When they got to their home on Southwest Pisces Terrace, the woman said Beider was angry because he didn’t have money to purchase drugs.

He became agitated and threatened to kill her as he fiddled with a pocketknife, the woman said. At one point he also pinned both her arms behind her back, she said.

Then Beider broke into his mother’s room, holding up a Samurai sword and threatening to kill her, the woman told police.

Beider fled the house after his mother called police, she said. Officers later found him hiding in an empty lot not far from his house.

Police reported seeing the mother’s bedroom door broken, and a wall with a hole that looked like it was made by something punching into the wall.

Police said they retrieved a 36-inch sword from Beider’s bedroom.
