No Bail for Man Charged with Beating, Stabbing Mother

A Homewood man was denied bond Saturday on charges of allegedly beating and stabbing his mother Monday then dumping her in a ditch.

Blake Springsteen, 22, beat his 46-year-old mother in unincorporated Homewood, bound her, put her in the trunk of a car and drove her to the village of Crete where he stabbed her multiple times and left her in a ditch in the 900 block of Columbia Street.

Flossmoor police reportedly arrested Springsteen Thursday and he was ordered held without bond at a hearing at the Cook County Criminal Courthouse Saturday.

Springsteen's mother remained hospitalized in stable condition as of Friday.

Springsteen is reportedly scheduled to appear in court March 12 for a preliminary hearing.
