Jeanette Morris, Harold Anderson, Joan Hobart
Two women and a man are facing attempted murder charges after authorities say they shocked a Florida man with a stun gun and beat him before tying him to a truck's bumper and dragging him a half-mile down a road.
Jeannette Morris, 61, her brother, 63-year-old Harold Anderson, and 46-year-old Joan Hobart are also charged with aggravated battery and conspiracy to commit murder in the Tuesday incident in Samsula, Volusia County Sheriff's Office officials said.
Authorities say Morris, Anderson and Hobart were drinking vodka with Morris' ex-husband in the home she shares with him when the three attacked the ex-husband.
The 54-year-old ex-husband was shocked several times with the stun gun and repeatedly punched in the face and had a gun put to his head. He then had his hands tied behind his back and he was dragged outside, where his ankles were tied and the rope was attached to the rear bumper of a pickup truck, authorities said.
The man was dragged down the road before the truck stopped and he was tossed in the back. The trio cut off some of his hair and talked about scalping him and finding a hole in which to bury him, authorities said.

At one point, the man was able to break free and jump from the moving truck and ran to a nearby home to get help. Authorities say he showed up at the home beaten and bloody wearing only his torn underwear and ropes around his neck and wrist.
He was treated at the scene and later taken to a Daytona hospital's intensive surgical care unit with a broken pelvis, broken facial bones and bleeding in his brain.
Deputies found Morris who had dried blood on her clothes and hand but denied her involvement in the attack and said the blood came from breaking up a fight between dogs, authorities said.
Anderson was also found with a swollen right hand with cut and bloody knuckles, authorities said. He had a gun and a shovel and showed no remorse, authorities said, saying it wouldn't have bothered him if the victim had died.
Hobart, of New Smyrna Beach, was arrested Wednesday night. All three remained in custody early Friday and it was unknown whether they have attorneys.

I would be hard pressed to find an uglier looking trio than these three scum buckets.
NO CHIT!!!!! :O
Yeah Mom I thought the same thing. They have a fountain of youth in FL but I think these 60 year olds?? must be drinking out of the Fountain of Death......Jack Daniels and Meth Tabs.
HER picture sure does explain HIS drinking though.....
Talk about falling out of the UGLY TREE !!!! These three hit every branch on the way down.
Maybe they could get bit parts in the movie NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD if they remake it.
IXLR8,
"Jack Daniels and Meth Tabs."
They must have been leading a hard and low life as you suggest, because I'm 63 myself, and when I saw the picture of Anderson, I had to go look in a mirror to see if I looked that bad. Conclusion: Nope! And that woman on the left looks like she is in her 70's or 80's instead of just 61. That's just what you get for leading a low life, I guess.
These three are ugly as hell, but I bet the victim will not win any beauty contest either. Considering the company he kept. There was not picture of the victim.
If we add up the I.Q. of all three, bet we don't get to room temperature.
I think it's time to move out! Obviously his ex-wife has some mental issues. But now that she should be charged with attempted murder he won't have to share the home with her crazy arse anymore.
Which one is which?
For a mugshot of the victim and a little more of the story go to:

Real bottom of the human barrel
And they probably have a total of eleven teeth between the three of them
The walking/driving dead... proof of existence.
I'm still laffin at the idea the dummy was still sharing the house with the Ex who obviously hates him. Not only are they all ugly as sin, but not too bright either. She told the sheriif's deputy the blood was from a dogfight ! But Florida is full of trash like this. When they are not sportin county orange they proudly call themselves rednecks. At least they are wearing half of the gator's colors - bet they have a gater sticker on that truck. They think Larry the Cable guy is a role model. Isn't Smyrna the place that guy came from who shot the black kid at a gas station in Jacksonville for loud music ? Lovely little town - probably needs bulldozin.
Ewww, if you look at the first two, you can see they're puppets for a ventriloquist by the fake jaw lines. LOL. God job sewing in the eyes like that. Man, to be honest, I'm not sure how long ago that I seen uglier people man. Whew.
The third is a 10th generation inbred. Ewww man.
The x-husband must have had a lot of vodkain him to be able to run to a neighbors house with a broken pelvis though. Wonder what "he" looks like....
Scooter has it right.....
HER picture sure does explain HIS drinking though..... LMAO dude....
you dunno...he might have had it coming..........
That was one pissed off ex. At least they got the perps.
Having been to New Smyrna, I'm willing to defend it.
If I could find a good job within 20 miles of New Smyrna, I'd move there without hesitation. The sharks are a bigger threat than the rednecks (New Smyrna is the shark bite capital of the U.S.)
Folks should use Rontron's link to the Daytona newspaper. Many more details in that article.
anger issues much? Sheesh...
Did the truck get away from them and drag them too, because it sure looks like it. Their family tree must look like a telephone pole; no branches.
awwww, c'mon, we don't actually KNOW what set them off. It could be a case of "legitimate" redneck vengence....
I think they set a great example !
It is the exact punishment I have advocated for years....
FOR POLITICIANS CAUGHT "BENEFITING FINANCIALLY" FROM SERVING THE PUBLIC
if you steal from us after we've trusted you.... you die behind a pick-up !
...and these 3 have experience & no qualms or morals .
They were just having a redneck good time. Hit the gas BUBA.
This is why you dont lie dont with crazy.
Florida again?
My first thought when I saw the picture was, mmmmm I like meth. Who breeds these people?
each other....theres a word for it..
Hillbillies in a place without hills!
Family tree with no branchs.
IndianaEngineer
Liberal democrats!
I
Terryfromweatherfordtx Not sure if you look like them, but you sure don't sound any smarter. but then some people never miss a chance to talk smack about the Liberals even if it make no sense at all. but hey, you are from TX afterall.
Ding Ding, we have a winner.... partisan hack winner!
This article is typical of ALCOHOLICS who are literally toasted 24/7 and cannot go through a day with out being and ALCOHOLIC.
ding ding ding we have a winner, in the Blame Game category.
TerryFromWeatherfordTX, hillbillies are associated with the south...you know, the place where all the Republicans live? Your chances of finding a liberal or any democrat is much slimmer. The last I knew, Texas loved to drag people behind their trucks. Why should Florida be any different? Doubt they were democrats or any other liberal. Liberals do not believe in capital punishment, Republicans do.
So you need to come up with something better, only this time do some research!!
Julieann,
Hillbillies are associated with the Ohio river valley, West Virginia, Kentucky, the Ozarks, etc...Hillbillies are called hillbillies because they live in the hills. The rest of us southerners prefer to be called rednecks, get it right. And Florida is a bunch of yankee transplants and Cubans anyway. Florida is also a swing state, Obama won the last election, plenty of democrats there, not hard to find a liberal at all.
So, come up with something better, and do some research. Ignorance is ironic isn't it?
Julieann and for ever dem, go spend some time in the city of the State of Texas Capitol and tell me how many redneck right wing conservative republicans you find compared to the number of liberals you encounter. You might be surprised.
Some areas of Texas are as liberal as it gets. Austin is known to be very liberal, and the city of Houston has a gay mayor. How does all that fit your model of the South?
The last dragging death in TX I am aware of was in the 1990's, if I recall correctly. And the guys who did this were sentenced to death.
I have family from Kentucky and they proudly refer to themselves as brars. The folks in Ohio pronounce it briars. The kentucks thinks the word "hillbilly" is an upscale word you use in polite company to impress them with your good manners. What we have in Florida, the three in the photo and dummy who got victimized are what we call white trash. Previous posters speculated meth or alcoholism or inbreeding as the cause of their current looks and behavior. I am not prepared to argue against those claims. But I am sure my Kentuck brar relatives can whoop 'em.
And by the way, Texans are Texans. Nothing more. Many Texans do not identify themselves as liberals, democrats, conservatives, republicans, libertarians, rednecks, etc. Just Texans, who live in a State that prides itself in not fitting anyone else's mold.
Talk about "diversity?" That word seems to have taken liberal connotation for most of the U. S.
Well, I've been all over this country and can tell you Texas has, by far, the most diverse set of cultures I've seen, including New York.
It's sad to see so many people denigrate Texas when they have no idea what Texas is all about.
@ IReadyou, good post. Kentucky is one of my favorite States, along with Arizona, Montana, Wyoming and Alaska.
Didn't the Democrats kill a President in Texas? Yeee Haw come to my farm! LBJ all the way!!
I thought Lee Harvey was a communist.
"bubba-1946427
Didn't the Democrats kill a President in Texas? Yeee Haw come to my farm! LBJ all the way!!"
Didn't a democratic pres candidate, the brother of the one you brought up, get killed in California?
Yep! Tooo much info.
This is exactly why I don't want to move to Florida. Will somebody please talk to my wife and tell her Phoenix area is much better.
I dunno, dude, 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of another.....
Rocky, I'm from Florida, living in phoenix right now. Trust me, we've got plenty of these types out here in AZ as well...
Sounds like an average Tuesday night to me :)
Yes, typical for Florida's beautiful people. These wonderful examples of the teabagger republicrap BASE just show that ugliness is NOT JUST SKIN DEEP.
Stun-gunned, beaten, and drug, taken to a Daytona hospital's intensive surgical care unit with a broken pelvis, broken facial bones and bleeding in his brain, still climbed out of a moving pick up and walked away. Tough dude. Some folks are just hard to kill. Wonder what he is like when he gets mad.
You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
yeah, broken pelvises hurt!
Shucks, these folks were just having a little trailer park fun. Can't you people take a joke?
Boy, talk about the shallow end of the gene pool.
Inbreeding at it's finest.
These three look like the poster-children for unstable mentality. Just good clean fun?
from the looks of these three it appears they were taking turns getting drug.
Too much sun, too much booze, and too much meth. That will fry your body and brain for sure.
I think the mug shot photographer needs to work on their lighting skills.
More or less light for there "picture day" wouldn't help any of these scum.
Wait, I take that back, if he had used a lot less light the picture would be harder to see and then might look a bit better to those of us that find all 3 of these lowlifes the scum of the earth.
Florida??? no way! you gotta be kidding!
WTH? Who lives with their ex?
And Man they look like the faces of Meth pictures you see on the net..
probably also his sister.
Actually, apparently a couple of the "Real Housewives of Orange County" live with their ex's - also their grown kids and probably a "significant other" or two. I don't think this has anything to do with money.
who on here HASN'T felt like this poor schmuck?... But that gen happens the morning AFTER.
At what point does the party end? Some of these people have been at the party since Woodstock. 40 years and still right where you left them!
Wow! Definitely rode hard and put away wet!
Find a hog farm and feed these pieces of human garbage to them.
They would probably poison the hogs.
What do you have against hogs?
Florida? Yup... Florida.
I'm just grateful it is not Tennessee for once
We tried to make peace with Castro, we offered him Florida, he went Communist instead when Russia offered him oppression.
Vodka in the trailer park . . . let the fun begin!
I bet it was that good ole Popov.. ya know the pricey stuff!
Go to the Daytona newspaper article. They list the address in that article.
Pop the address in Google maps and then look for the trailer park. Good luck finding it.
I would do her
I can't stop laughing right now
If you would do her, I'd better keep my cat away from you, for sure!
What you got no hands or imagination?? Go Miss Alabama!!!
Her? I bet you'd do him.
How much to watch....from across the street ?
And THESE are the people that the NRA wants to arm with assault rifles.
BS
An excellent example of a TeaParty rational response!
I am going to violate the CoH and call you a MORON. Feel free to report me and I will gladly take it, the punishment, for the humanity of newsvine.
Report?... no. I just would like you to justify your statement. The NRA believes that every american has the right to own the same types of assault rifles used in recent mass murders, and these three are american citizens. Scream all your meemies you want, but the NRA says that these three have the right to own assault rifles, which points out the insanity of the NRA. But, go ahead, show me how the NRA doesn't support these americans' right to own an assault rifle. I think you just can't handle the truth. But , of course, with the intellect I see displayed by you two with your expansive arguments so far, I don't really expect too many syllables.
I am not going to justify debating your civil rights, and guns, in and article about drunk people....your still a MORON.
Let the votes fall...
Yes, Shosyn, just the amount of intelligent discourse I expected from you (ever been on Springer?). You might want to change to coffee, TeaParties damages the brain.
shosyn - you are going to call Robert Warner-3092405 a moron - WOW and Terry from TX - you would agree with shosyn -
you guys are just an excellent example of why Mr. Robert Warner and I agree, you can't fix stupid. but we will no doubt continue to try for the sake of our fellow citizens. and while you ponder what I just said just picture the trio buying a gun or guns at a gun show, no background checks, no mental health evaluation, no waiting period. the only thing you guys have going for you is the argument that you don't need a gun to hurt or kill - just a stun gun, hammer, rope, and truck
HMMMM...he was beat, tied and dragged by a truck. I doubt they would have needed to point a gun to his head. Even if they didn't have a gun, they would have carried out this horrible act. This has nothing to do with guns Robert.
May I suggest N. Korea for you Robert and for ever dem? You would fit in perfectly. GO NRA! Down with the liberal nutjobs like Robert and for ever dem!
Yes you both are MORONS and uneducated. BY the way, many states have their own laws about guns and will arrest any Fed that tries to enforce gun laws. Haha! Go and cry all you want but guns are here to stay.
Robert- you are incorrect. The NRA does not believe EVERY american should own assault rifles. Please tell me where they say that individuals who have mental issues should have an assault rifle. Please show me where they say that individuals who want to live the thug life and have unregistered weapons and kill little kids and innocent individuals should have an assault rifle. I do not agree with everything the NRA says but I know they do not say that.
This article isn't about guns so why don't you stop trying to make it out to be. I am so tired of both parties running their mouths about guns. Get off it.
Mindie, I agree with some, and disagree with some, of what you say. I grant you that if these people had mental problems, you are correct. But the NRA believes that ownership of assault rifles is a constitutional right, and these three are protected by that constitution and, therefor- according to the NRA- have a right to own assault rifles. First, had these people never been diagnosed with a mental illness (and, admittedly, I have no idea of these people's history), the NRA says they have a right to semi-automatic weapons. Second, even taking all of that into account, it is the NRA's lobbying that created the gun show loophole, where these three could go to a gunshow and buy any gun they wanted- including assault rifles- with no background check whatsoever.
Now, if a person were obligated to go through a mental evaluation before purchasing an assault rifle, and regulations were in place that would ABSOLUTELY guarantee that no one else could gain access to these weapons (the technology does exist to prevent the gun from being fired except by it's owner), than the argument would certainly change. But if knuckleheads like this can gain access to such devastating weapons, we have a problem. That the NRA simply refuses to acknowledge that is unsettling.
I certainly disagree with some of your post, but am grateful for your thoughtful discourse.
For ever dem, if the NRA can't even get behind eliminating the gun show loophole, then they are a hazard to the safety of every American.
SoCalCaddy, before you start throwing the word "moron" around, you might consider that your'e advocating for people like these three to be able to own firepower capable of killing hundreds of people in minutes. You might want to tend the beam in your own eye before you tend the mote you imagine to be in mine.
And, SoCal, I find it unreal that you actually support these people having a gun. Sheesh!!
I agree that people like this should NOT have any type of gun. However, I don't believe that right should be taken away from responsible citizens. Do I own or want to own an assault rifle? No, I could care less, but I want the option of being able to purchase one. I don't know the entire story of these 3, but it sounds like they may have an alcohol problem. In Indiana, if a person has a history of alcohol abuse, the ability to buy guns is prohibited.
Robert Warner, these are the people that the NRA has already armed with assault rifles.
IndianaEngineer, I agree with you. But our laws currently don't take "responsible" into account. And they also don't take into account unausthorized people getting other people's weapons. A maniac can do the same damage with a 9mm handgun as an assault rifle, except for magazine size. Making sure that only COMPLETELY stable people own guns, making sure ONLY those owners can access their own weapons and limiting magazine size to what is legitimately useful is what is required. THAT'S my problem with the NRA- they fight these simple, "of course" objectives at every turn.
Drugs are bad people!!!!
In this case these people are bad for drugs.
agreed, Alcohol is a BAD BAD drug!!!
LOL. That's Ugly, Uglier and Ugliest. Just could not pass that up. Need some Zombie extra's without the make up they'd be the ones. Whew!
They walk but they can't die. Might have a movie here.
#2 actually looks like GW Bush from the eyebrows down. Pull the scroller down until just eyebrows down is showing, magic!
I see 3 fellas here...where`s the wenches!?
What a handsome trio..lol.
Well I guess it's time to get the government involved in restricting or banning pickups, shovels, knuckles and rope!
Or maybe we could just get something done about these ugly, in-bred, welfare leaches who obviously are lib democrat voters!
They look like TeaParty gunshop customers to me.
Somehow Robert Warner, I doubt you are smart enough to know what the TeaParty even is...
It's the evil spawn of the Republican Party and the Koch brothers, created do destroy the United States but turns out to be destroying the GOP with it's evil odor.
Robert, It's the new head of Homeland Security, Sectary of Defence, and Sectary of State.
Terry, more likely they don't vote at all. BTW Terry grow up and stop assuming, because it makes an ass out of U.
Harl60 you sir forgot the last part of that! Your ignorance shows through.
No, I left it out on purpose genius. Your ignorance is on display just by your comment.
Harl60 no you tried to leave it out but everybody knows what the saying is MOROON!
So? Your the only upset by it, lol. Makes you kind of a moron for taking up this lame cause of not finishing a quote, lol, what a weird thing to jump on. You really need a life.
