Joel O’Grady Julian Falkinbur Florida father and son arrested after stomping and assulting Tyler Kaltenbach


A father and son have been arrested by police in Florida after allegedly brutally beating up a man at a wedding reception in Daytona Beach last weekend.

Tyler Kaltenbach, 36, was left black and blue during the severe beating – and the impact was so intense that he was knocked unconscious at the scene, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.

Joel O’Grady, 38, and Julian Falkinburg, 21, both from Sanford near Orlando, are accused of beating Kaltenbach up in the parking lot at the Granville Farms wedding venue in Lake Helen.

The father-son duo – slammed as ‘scumbags’ by a Sherriff – went on the the run before being arrested on charges of aggravated battery.

It’s not yet clear what cause the altercation at the wedding reception.

‘This isn’t like a punch. This is the guy goes down and then you stomp on him until he’s unconscious. This could have easily been a murder,’ Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said to Fox 35.

‘Somebody could have ended up with significant brain damage. We hear about these things all the time.’

‘This has to be our first father and son SCUMBAG OF THE WEEK post, but they earned it. Not just kicking a man when he’s down – but when he’s unconscious,’ Chitwood wrote in a Facebook posting.

Emergency responders reported how Kaltenbach was found on the ground clinging to life.

He will face a long road to recovery including having to undergo facial reconstructive surgery after his cheekbone was broken.

‘Dental work is going to be extensive. All of his upper teeth were kicked out. Many of his lower teeth,’ the family attorney, Sara Howelles said.

Authorities say O’Grady and Falkinburg both have extensive, violent criminal histories. The pair knew Kaltenbach, but it is unclear was led to the attack.
