SNEADS, Fla. — On the evening of May 21 around 7:00 p.m., Sneads Police responded to a report of a fight at a home on Jackson Avenue. When officers arrived, they found a man with serious injuries to his face, bleeding heavily. Jackson County Fire Rescue gave him medical help at the scene.
Police say the victim, who is fully disabled, had allowed 29-year-old Robert Alan Hastings II to stay at his home because Hastings was homeless. He had also let Hastings’ mother move in after she left a rehab facility.
The incident happened when Hastings came home and found the door locked. He forced it open, and the homeowner asked him not to damage the door. Hastings got angry and hit the man in the face three times, breaking his glasses and causing cuts and swelling.
Hastings ran off before police arrived but was found nearby and arrested. He was taken to the Jackson County Correctional Facility and is waiting for his first court appearance.
Hastings is charged with Felony Battery on a Disabled Adult.
