Renee Pernice’s mother wants custody of her daughter’s children

The mother of a missing Northland woman is seeking custody of her daughter’s two young sons. KMBC Channel 9 reported last night that Linda Lockwood, the mother of Renee Pernice, is trying to wrest custody of her daughters 9- and 6-year old sons from Shon Pernice, calling him an unfit parent and referencing an incident last month in which Pernice allegedly stole a neighbor’s gun.

KMBC says:

The custody documents also say that Pernice brandished a gun in front

of the children, and that he tried to cash accounts in Renee Pernice’s

name — accounts intended for the children — and that he has a number of

outstanding bad checks with the Argosy Casino.

No one’s talking to the media about the custody suit yet, but a hearing is scheduled for next month.
