An 82-year-old Villager has repeatedly called law enforcement about his 8-year-old grandson living on the Historic Side of The Villages.
The Villager, who has been barred from his home in the Village of Country Club Hills after a physical altercation with his 41-year-old daughter, said he had been alerted on Sunday by a concerned neighbor, according to an incident report from the Lady Lake Police Department. The caller’s information suggested that the mother, who is living in her father’s Country Club Hills home, was attempting to recover the 8-year-old from a “drug dealer.” The grandfather was with a police officer when he pointed out a 36-year-old man driving a golf cart on Paige Place in Spanish Springs and suggested he was the “drug dealer.”
As the officer was speaking with the man in the golf cart, the mother and and her 8-year-old son pulled up in a second golf cart. She explained that she and the man, who lives elsewhere in The Villages, are in a “dating” relationship and he had been watching the boy for her. The couple said they are fighting an eviction notice at the property at 1813 West Schwartz Blvd.
They also accused the 82-year-old Villager of repeatedly calling the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office over concerns about the 8-year-old’s well being and suggested he was harassing them.
The boy appeared to be in no harm and the grandfather was reminded that a “no contact” order remains in effect, barring him from seeing his daughter at the Country Club Hills home.
