A Florida homeowner was beaten unconscious with his own semi-automatic rifle during a break-in on July 18, according to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office. The victim, who has not been named, reported that he had cleaned his rifle the previous evening and left it in his living room. He woke up to find a hooded man pointing the gun at his face.
Arrests Made
Authorities arrested Tyler Keller, 22, of Hawthorne, alongside siblings Stacy Oliver, 23, and Saniyah Oliver, 22, both of Interlachen. All three face felony charges in connection with the incident. The investigation gained traction after a friend showed the victim a video in which Keller allegedly bragged about the assault.
The suspects allegedly warned the victim’s girlfriend that they would harm the family if anyone called law enforcement. The victim did not immediately contact police due to the threats made against his family. His girlfriend drove him to a hospital later that day, where medical staff determined his face was severely fractured and required surgery.
