A Florida teen accused of stabbing his mother to death was previously charged with murdering his father in Oklahoma.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd made the revelation on Thursday, four days after authorities received a call from the unidentified teen, who told them his mother had "fallen on a knife" during an argument with him.
Sheriff's deputies arrived at the scene to find the 39-year-old woman dead, Judd says.
It turns out the teen had also been charged in the February 2023 death of his father in Lincoln County, Oklahoma.
In that case, the boy claimed self-defense, court documents reveal.
Prosecutors ended up dropping the charges when they couldn't come up with evidence to dispute the teen's claim – and he went to live with his mother in Fort Lauderdale.
