Grandfather accused of trying to drown his daughter-in-law ‘lover’ is released from Florida jail on £20,000 bail – but forced to surrender his passport and be electronically tagged
A British grandfather, who tried to drown his son’s former fiancé in a Florida swimming pool, was released from prison for a reduced accusation, and he could explain mail on Sunday.
Mark Gibbon, 62, was released on Friday with bail 26,000 (£ 19,200), but a judge ordered him to put an electronic label and deliver his Passport.
Mr. Gibbon was reported to have a relationship with his two grandchildren’s 33 -year -old mother, Jasmine Wyld.
According to the police reports, Ms. Wyld pushed Wyld’s head under the water many times and gave scratches and bruises at Solterra Resort in Davenport before intervening.
At a court hearing last week, the second -degree attempt of the murder accusation was reduced to battery accusation by drowning.
The court records obtained by this newspaper show that Bay Gibbon, a rich lighting engineer of Beaconsfield, works with Ed Sheeran, is a $ 25,000 (£ 18.500 £) bail for this accusation and a second charges of a simple battery.
Last night, a police spokesman said: ‘Mr. Gibbon was in Polk district prison because he was accepted as a flight risk since his arrest on August 3.
Mr. Gibbon (R) was reported to have a relationship with his two grandchildren’s 33 -year -old mother, Jasmine Wyld (L).
According to the police reports, Ms. Wyld pushed Wyld’s head under water many times and gave scratches and bruises at Solterra Resort in Davenport before intervening.
Mrs. Wyld was engaged by Alex, the son of Mr. Gibbon, 34, but they left in 2021
The main accusation has been reduced to the battery from the second -degree murder attempt by drowning, which is still a serious crime.
‘Bail was given, but it has to wear an ankle monitor, deliver his passport and stay in a limited area.’
A man who responded to Mr. Gibbon’s mobile phone claimed that he was in England when he called before the MOS suddenly called. The lawyer refused to comment.
Mr. Gibbon will return to the court later this month and the trial is likely to take place at the beginning of next year.
If he is sentenced to the battery by battery charging, he is sentenced to imprisonment of up to 15 years.
During a previous hearing, Mrs. Wyld begged the prosecutors to release her partner and called her a ‘good man who worshiped her family’.
Mrs. Wyld 34 was engaged to Alex, but they left in 2021.
In February last year, Alex was sentenced to two years in prison after he put a Porsche into his father during a discussion.
