A Lake County man was arrested for battery after allegedly choking his wife until his son knocked him off so they could flee.
Deputies responded to a battery complaint involving 40-year-old Kyle Brandon Knight at 4436 Clark Rd., Fruitland Park, around 8:50 p.m. Tuesday, according to an arrest report from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Upon arrival, the deputies met with Knight’s sister-in-law who advised that he and his wife were having a verbal argument at the residence. The altercation escalated to the point that she, her father and nephew refused to allow Knight to come inside. He then fled from the area in a red Toyota SUV, the report said.
Contact was made with Knight’s son moments later. He stated they were at their undisclosed residence when an argument broke out between his parents. His mother was walking away from Knight toward their bedroom to avoid more confrontation when he pushed her onto the bed and choked her, the report said…
