An armed would-be robber thought he had the upper hand when he broke into an apartment in the middle of the night. Unfortunately for him, he was mistaken. Rather than making off with some loot, he found himself getting his face rearranged after the residents turned the tables on him.<\/h3>\n

Eighteen-year-old Marrell Tyler of Merrillville, Indiana learned the hard way that crime doesn\u2019t pay after he broke into the wrong apartment around 3:25 am on a Thursday. Although he was armed with not one but two guns, Tyler didn\u2019t have the upper hand he had assumed he did. This became evident when the apartment residents put a stop to his attempted armed robbery with ease.<\/p>\n

Tyler allegedly broke into The Annex of Kokomo Apartments located at 2205 South Washington Street after concealing his identity with a ski mask, according to\u00a0The Blaze<\/a>. Unfortunately for him, rather than finding helpless, sleeping residents, Tyler was greeted by three males, who weren\u2019t about to be robbed without a fight.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0Kokomo Police Department<\/a>, the three male residents grabbed the unknown male suspect \u2014 later identified as Marrell Tyler \u2014 after he entered their apartment wearing a ski mask and pointing a handgun at them. After a struggle with the suspect, the residents knocked his gun away from his hand, but he pulled out a second pistol. That\u2019s when a shot rang out.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the residents tried to disarm the suspect a second time, the handgun went off but did not strike anyone,\u201d a media release from the police\u00a0stated<\/a>. Thankfully, the apartment residents were able to disable Tyler. According to\u00a0reports<\/a>, one of the residents retrieved his own handgun and held Tyler at gunpoint until police arrived at approximately 3:25 am, responding to a residential entry in progress.<\/p>\n

Upon their arrival, officers with the Kokomo Police Department located the three male residents holding Marrell Tyler at gunpoint in the apartment. Tyler was seated in a bathtub, battered with a swollen eye and blood running down his temple. The residents quickly informed officers of the events that had unfolded with the detained criminal, whose face had been effectively rearranged during the struggle with the apartment residents. Following an investigation by the police, 18-year-old Marrell Tyler was arrested for burglary, a level 2 felony.<\/p>\n

Marrell Tyler was transported to Community Howard Hospital for treatment of the multiple facial injuries he received as a result of his bad choices. He was then taken to the Howard County Criminal Justice Center. Later, Tyler was formally charged with burglary with a deadly weapon, a level 2 felony; armed robbery, a level 3 felony; and pointing a firearm at another, a level 6 felony, according to\u00a0Kokomo Tribune<\/a>.\u00a0He was ordered held on a $25,000 cash-only bond. He pleaded not guilty in the case and filed a motion to have his bond reduced.<\/p>\n

According to the probable cause affidavit, Tyler was staying with his girlfriend nearby and told her that he was going to a gas station to buy \u201cblunt wraps,\u201d but he never made it. Instead, he \u201cended up going into the nearby apartment because it was unlocked, even though he reportedly did not know any of the occupants of the apartment. The apartment\u2019s residents also told police they did not know Tyler,\u201d\u00a0WTHR<\/a>\u00a0reported. Later, after he hadn\u2019t returned to his girlfriend\u2019s apartment and she heard a gunshot, Tyler\u2019s girlfriend called 911.<\/p>\n

Although initial reports said the case was still under investigation, the three unidentified residents were not\u00a0charged<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0defending their home<\/a>,\u00a0The Blaze<\/a>\u00a0reported, adding that the residents also suffered\u00a0facial injuries<\/a>\u00a0but did not require medical attention from the physical altercation, according to authorities.\u00a0Marrell Tyler hoped to make a clean getaway after\u00a0stealing<\/a>\u00a0the prized possessions of complete strangers, but all he got was his face rearranged instead. I don\u2019t know about you, but I enjoy a story with a\u00a0happy ending<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
