A homeowner was defending himself during an armed robbery in his St. Augustine home.\u00a0 It\u2019s new insight into the\u00a0deadly shooting yesterday near the St. Augustine Outlets.<\/p>\n

An affidavit for arrest warrant says four people have been charged with first degree murder because the shooting death happened during the commission of a felony.\u00a0 24-year-old Paul Pettigrew died in the shooting on Cowan Road.\u00a0 Four men between the ages of 18 and 21 are now in custody, facing murder charges.\u00a0\u00a0St. Johns County Sheriff\u2019s Office Commander Chuck Mulligan says the homeowner has not been charged with any crime, and the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n

The four suspects are identified as Christopher Pettigrew (who is the brother of the deceased), Zared Matthews, Jeffrey Balcom and Xavier Williams.\u00a0 In addition to the felony murder charge, all four suspect are charged with attempted robbery.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, St. Johns County Undersheriff Matthew Cline said their early investigation revealed that five individuals traveled from Duval County to this part of St. Johns County for something drug-related.<\/p>\n

“Whether their presence was known by the residents on Cowan Road as being consensual or as a robbery, we’re not quite sure yet. Everyone is being interviewed as we speak. Obviously, things didn’t go very well. There were shots fired and an individual… is deceased on scene,” says Cline.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All four suspects were arrested through the day on Thursday.\u00a0\u00a0“We had deputies that have suffered heat exhaustion. We’ve got deputies that are being treated at Flagler Hospital, as we speak,” says Cline.\u00a0\u00a0But in the end, Cline says it was a citizen tip that led to the capture of the remaining two individuals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Logan County, OK<\/a><\/p>\n

A man is facing felony charges after he was caught allegedly breaking down someone\u2019s door to steal a water bottle, according to\u00a0KFOR.\u00a0\u00a0Deputies arrested Derrick Dumas just after they say he broke into a home near Edmond,\u00a0Oklahoma and stole the bottle.<\/p>\n

According to deputies, the homeowner woke up to a noise and discovered Dumas in front of the refrigerator with the door open.\u00a0He told Dumas to \u201cget the hell out\u201d but Dumas replied that he was thirsty and needed water. Then Dumas grabbed some bottles of Pepsi and walked out the way he came in.\u00a0The homeowner got his gun and told his wife to call 911, then followed Dumas out to the side of the house. Dumas continued wandering around the property, stopping at one point to sit and drink his Pepsi.<\/p>\n

Dumas finally sat down on the house\u2019s air conditioning unit and started hitting it. The homeowner told him to stop, and Dumas again said he was thirsty and needed water. This time, the homeowner gave him a bottle of water.<\/p>\n

When police arrived, Dumas was still holding that bottle.\u00a0\u201cProbably not usual when somebody breaks into somebody else\u2019s house just to grab a Pepsi bottle or a water bottle,\u201d said Sgt. Alex Poe with the Logan County Sheriff\u2019s Office.\u00a0\u00a0Dumas never gave police a reason for breaking in. In fact, deputies said he wasn\u2019t speaking logically at all when the caught him. He did, however, give them a different name when they arrested him, calling himself \u201cDerrick Boyles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deputies said Dumas was lucky the homeowner didn\u2019t try to take stronger action.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThat definitely could have happened,\u201d Sgt. Poe said. \u201cThe victim even said he grabbed a gun during the incident while it was occurring.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Dumas is charged with felony burglary, obstructing an officer, and malicious injury to property.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
