MARIANNA — A Marianna man was bound and beaten by robbers in his own home at midnight on Saturday.
Mike Murphy, 63, told Jackson County Sheriff’s Officers that two male subjects forcibly entered his residence on Fleetwood Lane demanding money. Murphy was later struck in the back of the head by a blunt object, had his fingers stomped and then his hands tied together, police reported. The suspects were unable to retrieve any money and left on foot, according to police.
Murphy was transported to Jackson Hospital to receive medical treatment. An early description of the subjects was two black males, one with an afro and the other with short dreadlocks, driving a gold late-model Toyota Camry.
