When family ties turn dangerous: a British father faces serious charges after a shocking incident in a Florida pool.
Hey friends, have you heard about the jaw-dropping incident that took place in Florida? It sounds like something right out of a soap opera! A British father, Mark Gibbon, is now facing attempted murder charges after a chaotic confrontation with his son’s ex-partner, Jasmine Wyld, at a resort.
Let’s dive into the details of this wild story, shall we? 💬
What went down at the resort?
So, picture this: Mark Gibbon, a 62-year-old lighting engineer known for his work with big names like Mick Jagger and Ed Sheeran, was enjoying a vacation at the Solterra Resort in Davenport, Florida.
But things took a dark turn when he allegedly attempted to drown Jasmine, who is 33 years old, by pushing her head underwater multiple times! 😳 Can you even imagine?
According to police reports, it was Jasmine’s nine-year-old daughter who jumped in to save her mom.
Talk about a heroic little one! 🦸♀️ But what led to this shocking confrontation? Both Mark and Jasmine reportedly had a few drinks before things escalated. Apparently, there were also some heated words about inheritance, which might have sparked the whole situation. It seems like there’s a lot more than meets the eye here!
Legal troubles ahead
Mark is facing some serious charges: two counts of battery and one count of attempted murder in the second degree. He appeared in court last week but will face the judge again for the attempted murder charge. The question on everyone’s mind is, will he get bail? There’s a possibility, but considering his wealth and British citizenship, he might be seen as a flight risk. 🚨
It’s been reported that he could technically be eligible for bail on the battery charges, but the attempted murder charge changes the game. If he were to get bail, he’d have to surrender his passport and wear a monitoring device. It’s crazy how quickly life can change, right?
A tangled web of relationships
Now, here’s where it gets even juicier. Mark and Jasmine both claim they’re not romantically involved, but detectives are investigating claims that they’ve been lovers for years. Unpopular opinion: it seems like there’s a lot of drama behind closed doors! 🕵️♀️
And the plot thickens! Mark’s son, Alex Gibbon, allegedly found his father and Jasmine together during a family vacation, leading to some explosive family drama. Can you imagine the betrayal? Alex even faced jail time for allegedly attempting to run over his dad with a fancy Porsche! 😱
Now, with all this chaos, the Polk County Sheriff has made it clear that they expect vacationers to keep it together while they’re in Florida. But clearly, Mark Gibbon didn’t get the memo. One thing’s for sure: if convicted, he could spend up to 20 years behind bars. That’s a long time to think about the choices that led to this moment.
