A Florida Keys woman hired to drive a man is accused of delivering him to two men last Saturday who police say beat him with the butt of a pistol and stole from him $2,000.
Police say the man paid the woman, 44-year-old Jennifer Marie Taylor, $300 to take him from the Lower Keys to Miami International Airport. Instead, she drove him to Rockland Drive on East Rockland Key in the Lower Keys, where detectives say Thomas Edward Dixon, 49, and 41-year-old Keyonbie Nashamba Humphrey, both from Homestead, were lying in wait.
“The victim was beaten with the butt of a handgun, and $2,000 was stolen from him,” Monroe County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Adam Linhardt said in a statement. “His luggage was ransacked, and he was left injured in the gravel.”
The 62-year-old man, whom police did not identify other than to say he is mentally disabled, flagged down a passing driver after the attack. He was covered in blood, Linhardt said. Medics took him to Lower Keys Medical Center, where he received stitches to his head.
