Arlington, Florida

From the Arlington River City News of September 21, 2005
Would-be robbers get more than they expected

A 54-year-old man told police he was attacked at gunpoint at his home in the 6400 block of Heidi Road about 8:40 p.m. Sept. 10.

He told police when he arrived home and entered through a side door, two men wearing all black clothing with white masks followed him though the door.

One man pointed a shotgun at him and ordered him to get down, according to a police report. The victim said he refused to get down, grabbed the barrel of the shotgun, jammed it into the gunman's stomach and yelled, "I'll kill you," the report said.

The victim told police he pulled the shotgun from the gunman's hands and both attackers fled his house in an unknown direction.

Police took the shotgun to check for prints. The victim was not injured. He told police he has no known enemies and doesn't know anyone who might want to harm him or his family.
