PATASKALA, Ohio -- A Pataskala man said he thought he was going to be killed during a recent home invasion and robbery.
NBC 4 reported with the FAST FACTS.
The incident occurred at the victim's home at about 12:30 a.m. Friday.
"I heard a noise and I looked up and that door flew open and I stood up and a guy smacked me in the face with a gun," the victim said.
Brian Stanley said four men pistol-whipped him, threatened to kill him and threw a television on his head while he was "hog-tied."
"I was shaking so bad, I thought they was going to kill me," Stanley said.
Stanley said he didn't know the four men but believes an ex-girlfriend could be involved. He said the ex came to the house about five minutes before the incident.
"I was handcuffed … on the ground and they picked me up -- two of them, one in the front, one in the back -- picked me up and literally throwed me into the back of the closet," Stanley said.
The thieves stole a TV, cash and prescription pain killers.
"[The thieves asked] 'Where's all your money at?' I said, 'I have no money.' I said, 'There's $9 on the dresser there. You're welcomed to take it if you like,'"
Stanley has been on worker's compensation ever since a cow fell on him at the meat plant where he worked.
