Matthew Paul Kelly is walked to the patrol car for transport to the Polk County Jail, escorted by Lake Wales Police officers. Kelly faces charges of aggravated assault and simple battery after an alleged outburst in which police said he threw gasoline on his mother.
For Lt. Dave Black of the Lake Wales Police Department, such horror “did bring back memories.”
This week, a Lake Wales man was arrested, accused of aggravated battery after allegedly pouring gasoline on his mother.
