A Deltona father ended up in jail Thursday after finding his daughter's teenage boyfriend naked in the girl's bedroom and hitting him with a pipe, sheriff's officials said.
Raul Colon, 45, didn't even know his daughter had a boyfriend -- or that the youngster had been sneaking into the home for more than a year. So when he heard noises coming from his daughter's room early Thursday and saw a naked stranger standing on the girl's bed, he swung a metal pipe he had taken from the garage, hitting the 15-year-old, according to a Volusia County sheriff's report.
Colon was charged with aggravated battery on a child but was released from jail later Thursday on $10,000 bail, a booking officer said. No one answered the phone at Colon's residence Thursday for comment.
According to the report, Colon heard the noise in his daughter's room when he got up at 4 a.m. to let his dog out, as he does every morning.
Colon told deputies he chased Lucas Contreres through the kitchen, living room and through the front door and out into the street and called 9-1-1.
Colon's daughter later told deputies she had been seeing Contreres for 18 months but did not tell her father about the relationship. Contreres had sneaked in through a bedroom window at 3 a.m. Thursday to have sex with her, the 15-year-old girl told deputies.
Contreres was found at Florida Hospital Fish Memorial in Orange City where he received staples to close cuts on his head. His injuries were not life-threatening, deputies said.
Contreres told deputies a similar account to Colon's. He said Colon came into the room and started swinging at him with the metal pipe. He jumped out of the bed and began running through the home to get away from Colon. Once outside, he jumped on his bike and went home. His sister later took him to the hospital, deputies said.
Although Contreres' father said he wasn't sure whether he wanted to press charges, deputies took Colon to jail anyway.
“I’m sure you would of just walked in and had a nice chat with the naked fellow.”
No, I’d have told him to get the hell out of there and had a long, hard chat with my daughter.
Sorry, I don’t hold third parties responsible for the faults of those who owe allegiance and honesty to me.
as I said I see why “you would shoot first and try to think later”
There are. They are called Muslims, except they hit their daughters over the head with a pipe.
I think the odds of finding a jury to convict either the father or boyfriend is unlikely.
Your logic and reasoning ability are really kind of weak. The fact that your statement “still stands” doens’t really matter to anyone. Please stop posting.
Are you a moderator?
Just wondering where you get off telling me to stop posting.
Yeah, I’d agree with that. Its one thing if he was charged as a juvenile delinquent and got some communuty service, but there’s no way as a juror, I’d stick this kid with a felony conviction as a registered sex offender.
The boy took his medicine and his own father said he wasn’t interested in pressing charges. I think the police should have let this one go. Instea, they just turned this into a mess.
Hehe..
We always used some alcohol and an X-Acto knife.
I’m sure a one of those super duper rubber bands would send the message good enough though.
Right.. you shouldn’t feel disrespected at all that some punk kid was sneaking into your house. How nice of you.
Lucky for you and your fellow idiots, I am not a moderator.
At what point did I resort to calling you names? At what point did I engage in personal attacks, smears or negative remarks towards you personally?
What reason do you have to be rude to me? Who asked you in the first place?
I looked at your posting history. You have a habit of posting rude comments to others. “Doesn’t play well with others” would be about the right way to describe it.
I usually ignore petty comments such as yours but you have caught me in a rare mood.
Have a great day!
My original comment STILL STANDS.
Actually, having spent a few years there, I think it’s safe to say the kid would be dead. The American way it to just administer a good beating.
Eh, they’re called fathers who don’t want naked boys in their daughters bedroom. It’s a common trait among the religious and even nonreligious.
