Two men and a woman on Wednesday were arrested in connection with the brutal beating deaths of three Florida friends during a nighttime catfishing trip.

"We have locked up the three people responsible for the murders of these guys," Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said.

Tony "TJ" Wiggins, 26, a hardened criminal with 230 felony criminal charges against him in his arrest history, was the alleged ringleader behind the "massacre." His girlfriend, Mary Whittemore, 27, and his brother William "Robert" Wiggins, 21, have also been arrested.

Judd called the elder Wiggins "pure evil in the flesh" and said his criminal history dates back to when he was 12 years old. He has 15 convictions and has two stints in state prison on his record.


quote:

After the brutal killings, the three suspects drove to McDonald's, where they ordered 10 double cheeseburgers, and two McChicken sandwiches, authorities said. The next morning, Robert Wiggins took his truck to a car wash in Lake Wales to wash the clay from it.


quote:

Judd said the killings seemed to stem from an argument over the elder Wiggins' truck.

"The only conflict we see is this -- 'Where's my truck? I heard you stole the engine out of my truck,'" Judd said.

Beat them within an inch of their lives and then leave them in their cells to die.

quote:

Damion Tillman, 23, Keven Springfield, 30, and Brandon Rollins, 27, were "massacred" last week.

The killings have shocked the tiny 3,200-person city of Frostproof, Fla, located about 70 miles south of Orlando.

Investigators believe Tillman arrived at the lake first to meet his friends. When Rollins and Springfield arrived, they saw their friend being beaten. The attackers then turned on them and began shooting.

Rollins was still alive when the attackers left and called his father for help.

Judd said the killings seemed to stem from an argument over the elder Wiggins' truck.

"The only conflict we see is this -- 'Where's my truck? I heard you stole the engine out of my truck,'" Judd said.
