According to deputies, a family called 911 on Tuesday night after three men entered a home where they were renting a room on Old Harden Blvd., pointed a gun at them, and demanded that they leave. Deputies say the suspects escorted the family outside at gunpoint and told them they could find their belongings in the yard later.
LAKELAND Three men are under arrest after Polk County Sheriff’s deputies say they went on a 24-hour violent crime rampage that left one man shot and a family terrified.
Deputies say it began on Monday evening when a black GMC SUV occupied by three men pulled up to a gas pump at the Circle K store on West Pipkin Road near Old Harden Boulevard. One man, who was later identified as 42-year-old Gardell Young Jr., pumped gas.
