Another example of some parental wisdom that we've all heard: Do as I say, (Not as I Do).

Michael Turner allegedly became upset with his 17-year-old son for taking his sister earlier that day to get a tattoo, according to a Clay County Sheriff's Office arrest report.

Details from the arrest affidavit:

The Orange Park dad got into his car, revved up the engine and drove at his son twice. But the lucky lad was able to dodge the vehicle both times.

The teen then struck his dad in self-defense with his fist through an open window in the vehicle.

Now it was dad's turn he stepped out of the vehicle, then opened the trunk to retrieve a crowbar which he swung at his son.

Mom managed to intervene and separate the two before deputies arrived.

Odd behavior from a Dad that sports some tattoos, according to the arrest report.

Dad tats include a panther on his left leg, an eagle on his right leg and a panther head on his right shoulder.
