After she arrived, deputies say two men knocked on the suspect's front door, claiming to have lost their dog. According to the sheriff's office, the men then forced their way into the house with a hammer and a crowbar.
The two men have been identified as year-old Christopher Clark and year-old Pete Bertolotti. Investigators says the suspects wrapped the suspect's hands and feet with duct tape and demanded he tell them where the money promised to Brown was located. Before leaving, the sheriff's office says the suspects tied up the victim, left him in his bedroom and rummaged through his home before leaving.
Deputies say the man chewed his way through duct tape, hopped to the kitchen and cut himself free. The driver did not pull over, drove through various parking lots and eventually hit a curb that would lead to a flat tire, deputies say.
The K9 deputy and his K9 partner found them at an apartment complex where they were then arrested. Brown is facing charges of home invasion robbery with a weapon, battery on a person 65 or older and false imprisonment.
