A Florida teenager is in hot water after allegedly attacking her own mother with a juicy pork chop. Us Weekly has confirmed
Online arrest records corroborate the allegations filed Farrah Kernan.
The 18-year-old was arrested by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday, January 22nd. According to an arrest affidavit, Farrah’s mother, Cynthia Kernanshe had called 911 for help and later told officers her daughter had been drinking during the day. This, Cynthia alleged, eventually led to a verbal disagreement between mother and daughter.
“Cynthia stated that during the argument, Farrah struck her in the face with her right hand,” the affidavit states. “Cynthia advised that she had video footage of the incident.” Police reviewed the footage, which was filmed by one of Cynthia’s friends, and showed the teenager punching her mother and Cynthia backing away.
Cynthia told police that “prior to the video recording, Farrah also threw a pork chop at her, which was not caught on video.”

In the affidavit, the responding officer wrote that he “observed food residue on Cynthia’s left shoulder, which was consistent with her statement.”
Police spoke with Farrah, “who appeared confused and offered statements that were inconsistent with the evidence and not relevant to the battery,” the affidavit says. “Farrah later became emotionally upset, started screaming and crying and continued to act uncooperative.”
Farrah was arrested on a single count of domestic assault. She was being held on $2,500 bond.
Us Weekly called Farrah’s phone number, which was provided in the affidavit, but had not heard back by press time.
It was unclear if she had hired a defense attorney, and records show she has not yet been asked to enter a plea to the charge against her.
Us Weekly called the sheriff’s office to see if they had ever answered previous calls from the home, but got no answer.
The affidavit does not mention whether Cynthia suffered any injuries in the attack.
Under Florida law, domestic assault is defined as the intentional, nonconsensual touching or hitting of another person when that person is a “member of the family or household,” which can include “wives and husbands; ex-wives and ex-husbands; persons related by consanguinity or marriage; persons living together as a family; individuals who have lived together as if they had children and previous relatives; marriage).
If Farrah is found guilty of this first-degree misdemeanor by jurors, she could be sent to prison for up to a year. He also faces a possible $1,000 fine, according to online legal statutes.
