JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A Murray Hill resident with a baseball bat and a homeless intruder with a brick tangled just after midnight on Tuesday after the homeless man tried to force his way into the home, police said.
The man, who wished to remain anonymous, told police that Roy Miller, 30, had been knocking on his bedroom window the last several nights in an attempt to get the man to give him money.
