A British holidaymaker has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after he allegedly tried to drown his daughter-in-law.
Mark Gibbon, 62, was with his family at the Solterra Resort in Davenport, Florida when he reportedly got into an argument over the "stipulations of his will".
According to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, Gibbon attempted to push the relative, 33, under the swimming pool at their place near Disney World.
His granddaughter, nine, reportedly jumped into the pool to try and save her mother but he pushed her away.
He is said to have stopped the alleged attempted drowning when two neighbouring sisters said they had called 911.
Gibbon, of Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, was taken into custody on August 3 just after 5.15pm.
He allegedly admitted to pushing his daughter-in-law under the water but denied trying to drown her.
“She advised that she could not breathe and believed that she was going to drown,” deputies wrote.
“(The victim) advised that she had to fight Mark in order to get away from him and from under the water but he kept pushing her back under.”
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said: “It's great that Polk County draws visitors from all across the world, but we expect vacationers to behave while they visit with us, just as we expect our lifelong residents to do the same.
“Because Mr Gibbon couldn't control his anger, he may find himself spending a lot more time in Florida than he had anticipated.”
He has now been charged with attempted second-degree murder and battery. He is due in court on September 9.
Gibbon is a lighting technician who runs his own company, MRG Lighting, and has worked on music videos for the likes of Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and Paloma Faith.
