Hunting Easter eggs can get competitive, especially when there's cash inside.
But what was a peaceful Easter celebration this weekend in Memphis, got very violent very fast.
It was a family Easter egg hunt that turned into a free for all melee.
Cirby Pearson's mother Annette is locked up at 201 Poplar and charged with aggravated assault after she was accused of hitting a man in the head with a claw hammer.
"He started cursing her out," said Cirby Pearson. "She started cursing him back. He done hauled off and smacked her. So she had, she went in and got the hammer. And she came back and bust his head with it."
Police say the man accused Annette Pearson of giving her young daughter too much help finding the prized golden egg during the Easter egg hunt.
The golden egg had seven dollars inside.
