Mario was arrested this morning in Baltimore for allegedly beating his mother.  Wow! This is not a good look.  Then again TMZ was clear to point out that she is a former heroin addict.  We will have to see how this plays out.

  • According to police, Mario’s mother Shawntia Hardaway — a former heroin addict — told cops the former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant had been “throwing and damaging property” … and pushed her around with his hands and forearms.

    Cops say they found several broken items inside the apartment — including a broken china cabinet, a busted mirror and a hole in the closet door.

    Mario’s mother also told police the 24-year-old singer had attacked her earlier in the week — in which he pushed her “eight feet into a living room wall, where Ms. Hardaway hit her head on the wall.”

    Mario — real name Mario Dewar Bennett — was eventually arrested this morning for 2nd degree assault. He was released on $50,000 bond.
