An Englishman, aged 62, found himself in legal trouble while vacationing in Florida after an altercation with his daughter-in-law about his will turned violent. Despite the gravity of the incident, he will not face jail time.

Earlier this month, Polk County Circuit Judge Michelle Pincket ruled that Mark R. Gibbon should be freed, having already served time equivalent to his charges. He admitted guilt to a battery charge and another lesser offense, according to court documents.

Initially, Gibbon was also charged with attempted second-degree murder. However, as part of a plea deal, this charge was dismissed. In addition to his release, he was ordered to pay $1,308.68 in fines and court fees.

The incident took place on August 3 at Solterra Resort in Davenport, Florida, located a short distance from Disney World. According to Law & Crime, the confrontation happened in the resort’s backyard swimming pool.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a “disturbance” at the pool around 5:19 p.m. Deputies arrived at the scene in response, as detailed in a news release from the agency.

The victim and witnesses said Gibbon, who is from Beaconsfield, England, about 25 miles west of London, kept shoving the 33-year-old woman underwater during the fight. The family was together on vacation when Gibbon and his daughter-in-law had a quarrel about the “stipulations of his will,” a probable cause arrest affidavit said.

Gibbon allegedly “pushed her under the water and held her down multiple times,” the complaint stated. She reportedly tried to get away, but he kept shoving her back down.

“She advised that she could not breathe and believed that she was going to drown,” deputies wrote. “[The victim] advised that she had to fight Mark in order to get away from him and from under the water but he kept pushing her back under.”

It was at this point that the victim’s 9-year-old daughter saw what was happening and “jumped into the pool” to her mother’s defense, according to cops. The girl tried to get him to stop, but Gibbon allegedly pushed her away.

The victim saw some neighbors and yelled at them to call 911. Gibbon allegedly stopped when the neighbors said they were calling the sheriff’s office.

Deputies arrived on scene and took Gibbon into custody. After receiving his Miranda warnings, he allegedly admitted to pushing his daughter-in-law underwater but said he did not intend to drown her. He claimed they were drinking when they got to talking about the will and she slapped him, which is what he said set off the skirmish.

The daughter-in-law reportedly suffered a couple of scratches.

“It’s great that Polk County draws visitors from all across the world, but we expect vacationers to behave while they visit with us, just as we expect our lifelong residents to do the same. Because Mr. Gibbon couldn’t control his anger, he may find himself spending a lot more time in Florida than he had anticipated,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said at the time.
