Local golf instructor arrested after battle with teenage son over dishwasher

A local golf instructor is free on $3,000 bond following his arrest this week after an altercation with his teenage son over his failure to load the dishwasher.

Stephen Michael Wresh, 55, was arrested at his home on Willow Circle in Fruitland Park after his wife called 911.

Stephen Wresh is the golf pro at Continental Country Club.

The Continental Country Club golf pro had arrived at home Monday evening and was enraged that his 17-year-old son had not completed his chore of loading the dishwasher, according to an arrest report from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

Wresh began yelling at his son and grew angrier when the teen walked away, headed toward his bedroom and locked the door. The teen then noticed that the cable wiring that connects his laptop to the internet was being pulled from the wall. Wresh then forced the bedroom door open and took the laptop.

The teen tried to go to his mother, but Wresh stood in his path and tried to put him in a headlock, the report indicated. The teen bit Wresh’s hand and was able to break free. He ran back to his bedroom, but Wresh followed him, pushed open the door and pushed his son on the chest, knocking him onto the bed. He grabbed the teen’s right hand and put him in a wristlock.

Wresh’s wife then called 911.

When deputies arrived on the scene, they spoke to Wresh in the driveway. The report noted that the odor of alcohol was detected on Wresh’s breath. He admitted that he had “chest bumped” and “body checked” his son.

He was taken into custody on a charge of domestic battery and booked at the Lake County Jail.

Wresh operates the Stephen Wresh Golf Academy at Continental Country Club in Wildwood.
