A Miami dad is in jail after he allegedly delivered a head butt to a Department of Children and Families case worker who came to retrieve his son.
Carlens Constant Jr., 30, was charged with battery on a DCF agent and criminal mischief for the altercation Thursday, Miami-Dade Police said.
According to an arrest report, Constant was not allowed to have custody of his son so DCF case worker Victor Onweazuekwa came to retrieve the unidentified boy.
A Miam-Dade judge said Friday that Constant was on probation for child abuse.
Constant directed his son to run away down an alley and then headed butted Onweazuekwa in the face, police said. He also threw an object at a window, breaking it, the report stated.
The angry dad then fled the scene, but later returned and was arrested by police, the report stated.
Because the arrest violated Constant's probation, he was held without bond in Miami-Dade jail.
