OCSO INVESTIGATING BACK TO BACK REPORTS OF
ROBBERY ATTEMPTS BY BAT-WIELDING MEN
A Fort Walton Beach area resident says he was attacked by two men armed with small baseball bats last night who demanded money and then struck him with the bats when he said he didn’t have any cash. The 41-year old victim says the confrontation took place while he was walking home on Scott Lane sometime after eleven p.m. Sunday night. He was taken to Fort Walton Beach Medical Center for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
While responding to this call, the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office received a second report from three juveniles who say they had been robbed by two men, one with a small baseball bat in his hands, in the area around Miller Street and Katherine Street around 11:50 p.m.
They say the men left in a dark green car being driven by a female. The teens, ages 14, 15, and 16 - described the first male as Hispanic, approximately 5’10” tall with
black hair and tattoo of a deer on his left forearm. They say the second individual was a muscular white male, about six feet tall, wearing a white tank top. No other descriptions were available.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office at 850-651-
7400 or Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers by calling 1-850-863-TIPS, going to
emeraldcoastcrimestoppers.com, or by texting “TIP 214 plus your message” to CRIMES (274637).
