The father of an 11-year-old boy beat a registered sexual predator with an ax handle for touching his son, and both men were arrested. Police said Roosevelt Reed, who is listed on the state’s sexual predator registry, allegedly entered the room of other tenants at a private community home and touched the boy on the stomach before being scared off by another resident of the room. When the boy’s father learned of what happened, he beat Reed with an ax handle before police could respond, said Lt. James Troiano. Reed was jailed on charges of burglary and battery of an 11-year-old child. The father was arrested on a charge of aggravated battery. Reed was being held without bond and his case has been assigned to the Alachua County Public Defender’s Office. The father’s name wasn’t released to protect the identity of the boy, so the jail could no give information on his status or legal representation.
I have many comments but there are not fit to print. I only want to say that Mr. Reed is DAMN lucky that is wasn’t my Son (or Daughter) because they would not have to call the police. They would call the CORONER! If they start a defense fund for the dad I am good for a C note. |
