Two men and a woman were arrested for the murders of three friends on a fishing trip in Florida, authorities said on Wednesday, describing one of the suspected killers, who casually ordered fast food from McDonald’s after the killings, as “pure wrong”.
Brothers Tony “TJ” Wiggins and Robert Wiggins, along with Tony’s girlfriend, Mary Whittemore, allegedly beat and shot the three victims on Friday night in Frostproof, Florida, about an hour south of Orlando, on a slow simmering beef, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said Wednesday.
“I didn’t stutter. He has 230 charges on his arrest history. Fifteen convictions and two times state prison with just 26, “Judd said of TJ Wiggins, according to Fox 13. of Tampa Bay.” He is a thug, he is a criminal. It is pure evil in the meat. It’s wild and it’s out of control. “
By chance, the group heard victim Damion Tillman, 23, tell a Dollar General employee that he and two friends, Keven Springfield and Brandon Rollins, 27, 27, were on a night trip from fishing, Judd said.
The suspects then followed the group to the lake and jumped them, Judd said.
“You stole the engine of my truck,” TJ Wiggins, 26, allegedly yelled at Springfield during the attack, according to Judd.
“The only evidence we have is that TJ is angry about some kind of truck deal that happened a long time ago,” the attorney said, according to The Tampa Bay Times.
Along with his younger brother, 21, and his girlfriend, 27, Wiggins allegedly beat and shot all three men, leaving them for dead, Judd said.
They then drove to a McDonald’s area, where they quietly ordered 10 double cheeseburgers and two McChicken sandwiches, according to Judd.
TJ Wiggins has been charged with charges including three counts of first-degree murder, according to The Tampa Bay Times.
Robert Wiggins is accused of tampering with the evidence, and both he and Whittemore are charged as accessories after the fact, the newspaper reported.
They must appear in court on Thursday afternoon.
