His 47-year-old mother, Leslie C. Waller, is facing charges of aggravated battery and disorderly conduct. Leslie Waller was released from jail after posting a $2,000 bond.
Tiara Waller, 18, is facing charges of simple battery and disorderly conduct, according to the arrest report. She was brought to the Riviera Beach police station and released with a notice to appear in court, the report said.
The Wallers allegedly attacked the men because one of them is dating the girlfriend of a family member, who is incarcerated, the report said. When the men accompanied the woman to the Waller’s home Monday to drop off the incarcerated man’s baby, they were approached by Tyreek Waller, who was allegedly carrying a gun, police said.
The arrest report said that Tyreek Waller felt “disrespected” by the woman bringing her new boyfriend to the house.
While Tyreek Waller held one man at gunpoint, his mother and sister struck the man with kicks and punches, the report said. The second man was also assaulted and hit in the face by a weight belt swung by Leslie Waller, witnesses said.

When Riviera Beach police arrived, both men’s faces were bloody and swollen. Other Waller family members who had been involved in the beatings left the scene before police showed up the report said.
Police were forced to remove Tyreek Waller from the scene quickly after a “very unruly crowd” formed because of his “cursing and acting belligerent,” the report said.
Leslie Waller allegedly admitted while sitting in a holding cell that, “Yeah, I hit him with that weight belt.”
