An incident at an Indian Rock Beach restaurant led to the arrest of both the son and wife of the late Pinellas County Congressman C.W. “Bill” Young.
Beverly Young, 62, and her 30-year-old son, Patrick, were arrested Friday evening.
As first reported by WFLA, Pinellas County Sheriff’s deputies were called to JD’s Restaurant & Lounge on 125 Gulf Blvd. in Indian Rocks Beach at about 9:45 p.m. Friday, responding to a customer claiming he was hit by a male subject at the restaurant.
According to PCSO records, Patrick Young, a Pinellas Park resident, was detained on one count of felony battery on a person 65 years of age or older. He was released on $5,000 bond.
Beverly Young, who lives in Indian Shores, was held on a single count of misdemeanor driving under the influence. She was released on her own recognizance.
Beverly’s late husband and Patrick’s father C.W. “Bill” Young was the longest-serving Republican member of Congress at the time of his death in 2013.
Young represented much of Pinellas County in the United States House of Representatives from 1971 to 2013. In 2014, the Bay Pines veteran’s hospital was renamed after Young.
