A Leesburg man was arrested after allegedly headbutting his mother and robbing her over $96 in scrapyard money.
The mother of 42-year-old Jason Willis Powell returned to their shared home near Luana Court in Leesburg at 2:40 p.m. Monday, according to an arrest report from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. She brought with her $96 from a scrapyard, and Powell demanded a portion of that money.
