Satsuma Police said they've charged 26 year old Joshua Browning with murder in the death of 46 year old Lawanda Kay Browning.
The body of Lawanda Browning was found Monday morning in her home at 5283 Lemans Drive West in Satsuma.
While being led to a police car, Browning was asked if the stabbing was an accident.
He said, "Yes, sir."
When asked if he was on drugs, Joshua Browning said, "Yes, I was."
Satsuma Police said they got a call from Joshua's sister Monday morning saying her mother was missing from her home, along with her TV set, her car, and Joshua, who lives there.
Police found Lawanda Browning dead in a bedroom.
Satsuma Police Chief David Benefield said, "There were obvious signs of a struggle."
Police said they began searching for Joshua Browning and found him and another man, Jermaine Robinson, in Mrs. Brownings car on St. Stephens Road in Mobile Monday afternoon.
Robinson has been charged with receiving stolen property.
James Alexander of Mobile was driving by the scene at the time of the arrest.
He said, "We saw the officers putting two men in the Satsuma Police car."
Another motorist, Louis Smith, said, "I stopped and saw all the action going on here."
Chief Benefield said, "We did find Miss Browning's debit card in the possession of Mr. Robinson."
When asked if there were any drugs found in the car, Benefield said, "There was some crack cocaine found in the vehicle."
Police said Joshua Browning has been in trouble before.
Benefield said, "We have a pending case in Circuit Court at this time on a theft of property case in which Browning stole his mother's television as well as some other property and pawned it to get money for drugs."
Joshua Browning said one more thing before police put him in a squad car.
He said, "Its my mom."
Benefield said, "Its especially hard on the family. They were all together for Mothers Day and had been to some other family member's residence, enjoyed the time together, and then, for this to occur, is very tragic."
Satsuma Police also said a pistol and jewelry were stolen from Browning's home.
In addition, officers and friends said Lawanda Kay Browning's husband died of natural causes not long ago.
