Florida Assault Case Takes an Ironic Turn
In an unusual series of events in Frostproof, Florida, 59-year-old Everett Brown found himself under arrest after calling 911 to report a home invasion and assault. Brown was attacked by a 14-year-old, Phillip Sutton IV, who broke into his house and struck him with a broom handle. Brown, seeking assistance, contacted the authorities, who responded promptly to investigate the incident.
While processing the crime scene, deputies discovered cocaine and drug paraphernalia in plain sight at Brown’s residence. Consequently, he was arrested and charged with drug possession, despite being the victim of the break-in and assault. The teenager responsible for the attack was also apprehended and charged with burglary and battery, both felonies.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd addressed the incident with his trademark candor, noting, “Mr. Everett didn’t deserve to have his home broken into and be battered by this hooligan, but he should have hidden his cocaine before dialing 911.” Judd’s remarks highlighted the irony of the situation, drawing widespread attention to the case. Brown posted a $5,000 bond shortly after his arrest, but his story serves as a peculiar reminder of how certain situations can escalate unexpectedly.
