Max Ehrich arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother

Max Ehrich, who played Fenmore Baldwin, Michael and Lauren’s son in Young and Restless, got arrested on Tuesday. Authorities charged him with one count of battery on a person 65 years of age or older. TMZ reported that the assault was on a family member.

While it is not initially clear if the elder family member was indeed Ehrich’s mother, speculations have emerged because Ehrich went online on Instagram live that day, and his mother was in the room. Some fans found his behavior erratic before this incident took place.

A more recent report from TMZ confirmed that it was indeed Ehrich’s mother who fell victim to the actor’s erratic actions. The report came after further investigation into the incident. As per TMZ, the mother confirmed that Max consumed nitrous oxide before turning violent. This occurred during an argument over her phone in their house. Ehrich’s mother allegedly told the police that he chased her outside. He reportedly chased her into her neighbor’s backyard, pushed her to the ground, and kicked her. Thankfully, she did not suffer any serious injuries.

After authorities arrested him on Tuesday, Max posted a $1,000 bond and secured his release on Wednesday. There is yet to be further clarity in the case.
