The man, from the Southwest Florida city of Palmetto, was charged with batter on his mother, according to bradenton.com.

Thomas Barbee on Sunday pushed his mother down a hallway, up against a wall and then down to the ground into a doorway, according to police.

Barbee was released from the Manatee County jail on Tuesday on a $1,500 bond.
