Charges of murder, armed burglary with assault and armed burglary were later added.
If found guilty, Lamb would face a mandatory sentence of life in prison. Prosecutors could seek the death penalty, but have not said if they would in this case.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said a safe that Sharon Lamb kept in her bedroom was missing. News4Jax was told the only people who knew a safe was there were her son and his roommate.
Police found 10 hydrocodone tablets in the roommates' bedroom, not in prescription bottles and with no evidence that either one of the two had a prescription for them.
