RDC: Drug Dealer Beats Man Over Debt

Norman, OK - This one will be filed under "Really Dumb Crooks" (RDC). Here's a tip to drug dealers that beat up customers who owe them money - don't stand on your balcony bragging, "I beat his ass!" as police are below investigating the crime.

According to court records, police were called January 27 to the Sunrise Ridge apartments on Hal Muldrow Drive in Norman at about 11:30pm in reference to a fight.

When police arrived they found a man lying on the ground "with large lacerations to his head."

Police also reportedly heard Erick Raymond Grubbs, 22, yelling "'...I beat his ass...' repeatedly as he stood on the balcony outside his residence."

Police reported that the victim had apparently gone to Grubbs' apartment "to discuss with Grubbs his inability to pay an outstanding drug debt."

Apparently Grubbs was not in a forgiving mood as witnesses reported he and two other men began beating the man.

It is alleged that Grubbs used a police style baton to hit the victim at least 15 times, causing the injuries to the victim's head.

Grubbs has been charged with felony assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

Grubbs was released on a $15,000 bond.
