A 50-year-old man recently released from prison has been jailed on charges of abusing his elderly parents.
Julian Howard Parker began mistreating his parents after his release from prison in April on drug charges, police said. Parker had moved into their Milton Avenue home.
Last Thursday, Parker was charged with aggravated battery of a person over 65, false imprisonment, exploitation of an elderly person and possession of cocaine after he banged on the front door at 2 a.m., awakening his father.
A short time later, Parker pulled his 81-year-old father out of bed, dragged him into another room and demanded money, an arrest report states. When his father refused to give him money, Parker became enraged and threw his father against a wall, then dragged him back into the bedroom and held him against his will, the report states.
Parker was booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail, where he remained Tuesday with bail set at $15,500.

He chose drugs over his parents.
I am sorry for the parents of Julian Howard Parker.
The worst betrayal in the world has got to be when one is betrayed by ones own child.
Parker needs a long stay in the big house.
An example of how low some will go for drugs. I am sorry for the parents too.
Drugs make people desperate.
They do despicablel things.
They must be punished.
When he gets out of jail, he should be shipped to China, where
children respect and revere their parents.
I agree Thelma, ship to China, now that's creative thinking. Yes, other countries respect their elders, too bad USA spoiled generations do not know the meaning of the word respect, may look at the elderly as "sponges", no respect for those who built our country.
