550-pound NY lawyer accused of stalked mistress clashes with country club guests in Florida



This was one heavyweight fight.

A morbidly-obese, married Long Island lawyer once accused of tormenting his much younger lover made waves at his Florida country club on New Year’s Eve — grabbing a man’s phone and tossing it in a pool in an ugly confrontation over poolside lounge chairs.

Video of the wet-and-wild Dec. 31 incident shows 550-pound Ronald David Ingber towering over two people next to the pool at the $95,000-a-year Wycliffe Country Club in Palm Beach County.

Ingber, 52, can be seen grabbing a younger man’s hand before ripping away his phone and throwing it in the water.

The 49-second clip shows the stunned man frantically backing away, yelling and pointing at Ingber, shouting, “You f–king…!”

“What are you doing?” the man’s older female companion yelped at Ingber.

“Can you get my phone please?” the man, clad in a grey T-shirt and black shorts, asks a swimmer before turning to staff.

“He threw my phone in the pool!” the man can be heard shouting in the footage. “F–k you, send this f–ker to jail!”

Ingber briefly stared at him before turning away and sitting down as staffers arrived to separate the trio, the bystander footage shows.

A second clip shows another view of the incident — with the younger man and the older woman squabbling with someone lounging by the pool — claiming the man had stolen their seats.

As the clash unfolded, the woman loudly turned to people sitting nearby.

“Are you responsible for this?” she demanded, pointing to the alleged seat-thief.

Ingber, a father of two, then got up and confronted the pair, grabbing the phone, another clip showed.

Ingber was sued in October in Brooklyn Federal Court by his paramour, who claimed in court papers he smelled, gave her herpes, and tried to torture her by setting up secret cameras in her apartment, a tracker in her car, and a keystroke recorder on her computer. Ingber has vehemently denied the allegations in the lawsuit, which is pending.

The incident at he country club was self-defense, Ingber insisted to The Post.

“I was approached. I thought somebody waved a weapon in front of me,” he said, insisting the club has more videos. “And I disarmed them, period.”

The attorney said he did not know the man and woman, who were yelling profanities and screaming in front of children and families in an apparent dispute over stolen poolside spots.

The pair were arguing with someone sitting next to his family, then began yelling at Ingber’s wife, who didn’t know the people involved.

“I defended myself,” he said.

The confrontation was a battle over pool chairs, “a situation that went unchecked for an extended period despite staff presence,” a lawyer for Ingber told The Post.

The Ingber family wasn’t involved in the original dispute and “became collateral targets of the offender’s anger,” attorney Richard Portale added.

“When one individual advanced aggressively toward my client, while raising an unidentified object toward his face, he reacted instinctively to protect himself, his wife and children and to stop what appeared to be an imminent threat,” Portale said.

“This situation was spiraling out of control and could have ended very differently, but thankfully no one was hurt and that is what matters most.”

The club downplayed the New Year’s Eve episode.

“This was an isolated incident between two individuals that was addressed promptly by club management. There were no injuries and no ongoing safety concerns,” general manager Rob Martin said in a statement.

“The matter was handled internally in accordance with our club policies and [Home Owners Association] regulations.”
