A man called police early Tuesday morning and told them he hit his parents on the head with a hammer. Gary Mox is now in jail.

   Mox lives with his parents on Old Mission Peninsula north of Traverse City. His 88 year old mother told police when she woke up Tuesday morning she said a comment to her son about being awake early. She says Mox then went into his parents bedroom and started hitting his father repeatedly with a hammer. When Mox's mother came in the bedroom he struck her with the hammer in the back of the head.


   Police say the father's injuries needed stitches and his mother now has stables in the back of her head.
   
   Mox is in jail on $1 million dollar bond. The court ordered him not to have contact with his parents.
