“The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office provides equal access and equal opportunity in employment and services and does not discriminate.” October 11, 2016 MAN SAYS HE WAS PISTOL WHIPPED DURING ROBBERY ATTEMPT The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after a Fort Walton Beach area man says he was pistol whipped during a robbery attempt at his home on Opal Court Monday night.

The 24 year old victim suffered a laceration to the head. Zachary Willis says a man and a woman came in his residence without permission around 5:30 p.m. The man was armed with a handgun and ejected four rounds from the weapon to show it was real while demanding items. The suspects have been identified as 39-year old Jennifer Pentecost of Fort Walton Beach and 32-year old Ian Church of Mary Esther.

Both now have active warrants for home invasion robbery and aggravated battery. Church faces an additional charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The victim, who was treated at the scene, refused to give them anything and the pair left in a white GMC Sierra pickup truck with Florida tag 461QMP.

Anyone who knows their whereabouts is asked to contact the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office at 850-651-7400 or Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-850-863-TIPS, emeraldcoastcrimestoppers.com, or by using the P3 Tips Mobile application.
