Man Arrested For Coaching Teen Son In Street Fight [VIDEO]

Phillip Struthers of Tampa, Florida was arrested after a video of the 41-year-old aggressively coaching his 16-year old son in a street fight surfaced on the Internet.

Struthers’s son was fighting another teenager over a girl, and a crowd had gathered to watch the brawl.  However, no spectator was as enthusiastic as Struthers, who stood right behind the combatants screaming instructions such as “Knock him out, Jake,” “Punch his eyes out,” and “Slam his head on the ground.”

Struthers is now facing charges of felony child abuse and a misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a child, and has been ordered by the judge to stay away from his son until he turns 18.
