A Summerhill man is allegedly one one of four assailants who beat and robbed an Auburn man in his home in January, Auburn police said.
Leefree Alan Petty, 30, of 1001 Lake Como Road, was picked up on an arrest warrant Saturday and charged in connection with the attack against a 38-year-old Auburn man.
Petty is accused of breaking into the victim's home on Grant Avenue around 1:15 a.m. on Jan. 12, tying the man's arms together and beating him as the co-defendants removed property from the residence, said Auburn Deputy Police Chief Roger Anthony.
The victim suffered two broken arms and multiple lacerations to his hands, arms and face as a result of the attack. He received treatment at Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse for his injuries.
Petty was charged with the felonies of first-degree burglary, first-degree robbery, first-degree unlawful imprisonment and second-degree assault, as well as a misdemeanor count of possession of a dangerous substance.
