Tables turned: Michael Maxwell allegedly broke
into a Palm Bay, Florida home Wednesday and received a fat lip, among
other injuries, when the victims became the aggressors
Michael Maxwell, 19, was allegedly trying to invade and rob a Palm Bay, Florida home with three companions when the victims became the aggressors and Maxwell received a beating he wouldn’t soon forget.
Police were called to the home around 1am Wednesday and arrested Maxwell and a 17-year-old companion.
They say the home’s occupants were able to fend off the attacks after Maxwell and several other men
arrived at the home in a gold Chevrolet Malibu and attempted to storm the home.
Maxwell, who works as a tattoo artist, sports a seriously swollen lip in his booking photo.
He looks dazed and confused, with one bloodshot eye struggling to stay open for the camera. There is a gash across his puffy nose.
Brutal: Police say Maxwell and several others stormed the home, but occupants successfully beat off the invasion
He was then detained at Brevard County Jail Complex in Sharpes, Florida, and charged with home invasion, robbery with a firearm or deadly weapon, and four counts of battery.
Nabbed: Maxwell was treated for his injuries at
Holmes Regional Medical and then booked on home invasion with a firearm
and four counts of battery
Though Maxwell’s arrest wasn’t the most graceful, it certainly wasn’t the dumbest way to get caught.
Just last week, to California men were arrested after one of their cell phones ‘butt-dialed’ 9-1-1 right as they discussed marijuana while allegedly breaking into and stealing items from a car.
