Florida man, Jarrett Brooks, arrested after brutally killing man with a hammer
Police arrested a Florida man on Saturday after he attacked, struck and murdered another man with a hammer.
Hillsborough Sheriff’s Office is reporting that Jarrett Brooks, age 27, attacked Jonathan Acree with a hammer while he was talking with a friend in his front yard. Brooks struck Acree from behind in the head and neck multiple times.
EMS transported the victim to Brandon Hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
Brooks initially fled police, barricaded himself and refused to surrender to deputies. HCSO SWAT and Crisis Negotiators responded to the scene and after a couple of hours, chemical agents forced Brooks from the home.
Brooks faced charges of 2nd Degree Murder with a Weapon.
What a classic murder! It’s been awhile since I’ve read a plain jane, no-nonsense kind of headline such as this, without any of that head-scratchin’ nonsense that gets in the way of so many of today’s reports.
