As previously reported by News Center 7, Dayton police responded to a domestic call in the 1600 block on Feb. 26.
Officers could hear yelling coming from inside the home when they arrived on scene.
Officers had to force the door to the residence and when they did, they found a woman suffering “from several obvious injuries,” according to an affidavit and statement of facts filed in Dayton Municipal Court.
The woman said her son, Ledbetter, had attacked her with a small baseball bat and “another wooden stick object.” He also allegedly strangled her.
Ledbetter’s sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 10. He remains booked in the Montgomery County Jail.
