FORT MYERS, Fla. -- A Florida man put his dead neighbour in the back of his pickup truck and drove to his lawyer's office, claiming he'd killed the man in self-defence.
Attorney Robert Harris told the News-Press of Fort Myers that 52-year-old John Marshall showed up Wednesday afternoon, saying he didn't know who else to trust.
Attorneys called 911 and Marshall spent hours at Harris' office before finally leaving for the hospital late that night. He had a swollen lip, missing tooth and what appeared to be two broken thumbs.
According to Harris, Marshall wrestled a gun away from his neighbour and fatally shot him earlier Wednesday. The two men had apparently been in a dispute over property work.
Lee County Sheriff's deputies declined to say whether Marshall would be arrested.
