Curtis Paul Leonard, a Lake County criminal defense attorney has been arrested on charges of witness tampering. Allegedly, Leonard offered money to a victim and asked him to forget about a Leesburg home invasion. Incidentally, Leonard represented both the victim and the perpetrator. He has been released on a bail of $15,000.

In the instant case, on April 18, Judson Spence called the Leesburg police to report Kyle Reese had broken into his home. A gun was also fired during the incident.


The police charged Reese with armed burglary of a dwelling.

However, Spence was jailed in July on charges unrelated to the home invasion.

According to the prosecution, and documents presented in court, Leonard visited Spence in jail and asked him whether something could be done so that Spence gave false testimony about the home invasion. Leonard also divulged to Spence that he was representing Reese in that case.

Later on the same day of his jail visit, Leonard informed Spence that his bail has been posted and asked him to visit the law office after release.

Allegedly, once Spence went to Leonard's office, he gave Spence instructions on how to respond to investigators and claim that his memory was foggy. They also agreed that Spence would attribute to his lost memory to the injury he received during the invasion.

In return, Spence was told that he would receive money for relocation.

The affidavit of probable cause also mentions that Leonard had conversed with Reese at the jail and Reese had agreed to provide the bail costs for Spencer as well as Spencer's attorney fees.

It is not known who informed the police about the witness tampering, but two weeks later, when Spence again attended Leonard's office wearing a wire.

Leonard has no disciplinary history according to the Florida Bar.
