Matthew Leatham is the ultimate Florida man. He already has a long rap sheet that includes arrests for possession of marijuana and again for no-showing in court regarding that case.
Well, Leatham is back in the news, as he was arrested again, this time for trying to strangle his mother who was trying to take him to work.
Leatham's mother drove to his home to pick up the 23-year-old for work, but she found him "intoxicated and lying down on his bed." When she tried to wake him, Leatham allegedly told her "I can't do this anymore, I'm just going to kill you," according to The Smoking Gun.
That's when Leatham grabbed his mother around the neck in a headlock and began to choke her. Luckily, the victim was able to make it to the door, kick it open, and call our for a neighbor to call 911.
Leatham was arrested, again, and is facing charges of domestic battery by strangulation, which is a felony carrying a maximum five-year prison sentence.
