Mom Accused Of Giving Girl Weapon For Fight

A Jacksonville mother was recently arrested after being accused of giving her daughter a weapon and encouraging her to fight another girl in a bus stop brawl.

Police said the fight between several students turned criminal when police said one girl's mother not only encouraged her daughter to fight another student but also gave her a weapon to beat the other girl.

Johneishia Ervin, 13, told Channel 4 she was walking to her bus stop on Thursday morning when another girl came at her with a stick.

Ervin said not only did the girl strike her several times, but she said the girl's mother joined in as well.

"Her momma grabbed me and put my hands behind my back and started beating me and let her daughter hit me," Ervin said.

A picture of Ervin after the fight shows the teen's forehead was scratched and swollen.

"I was upset and scared because they could've beaten her and left her there for death," said Ervin's mother, Felicia Ervin.

According to the arrest report, Cheri Webb's daughter told her mom the night before that she was going to get into a fight with Ervin.

After the fight was over, police said Webb took her daughter to school as if nothing had happened.

Webb was arrested and is charged with aggravated battery.

A Channel 4 news crew tried to get Webb's side of the story, but was confronted by an unidentified man who came out of the house and shoved a cameraman.

"I don't wish no harm on her, but I know she can't be giving her child sticks to be beaten anybody with because that's wrong," said Felicia Ervin.

Webb told police she stepped in to break up the fight after it got out of hand. She denied giving her daughter the stick.
