Fake US Marshals invaded home and beat two people with baseball bat, Arizona cops say

Three men were accused of wearing masks, posing as U.S. Marshals officials and assaulting two people after breaking into a home in Arizona, authorities said.

The incident took place just before 5 a.m. on Aug. 10, the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. Deputies received reports that three people wearing “camouflaged clothing and face masks” arrived at the front door of a Golden Valley home, identifying themselves as U.S. Marshals officers and demanding to be let inside, the release said.

The people inside the home asked the men to show identification and prove they actually were with the U.S. Marshals Office, the release said. When the men were unable to show real proof, the residents refused to let them inside, and the men entered by force instead, deputies said.

The three men had a shotgun, rifle, two handguns and a baseball bat with them, the release said. One of the men took one of the residents to a back room, the release said, and another one of the men began beating the other two residents with the baseball bat. Then, the men fled the scene.

The two residents who were beaten were taken to a nearby hospital via ambulance, the sheriff’s office wrote. They were both treated for blunt force trauma and broken bones, but are expected to survive.

Meanwhile, detectives continued to search for the men and arrested two suspects — identified as 35-year-old Mark Hutchins Jr. and 46-year-old Jason Wortman. They also found the “guns, bat, clothing, and masks used during this incident ,” the release said.

Later, detectives found a third suspect, 60-year-old Humberto Perez, in Las Vegas, the release said.

After investigating, the sheriff’s office said Perez had been served with a restraining order by one of the victims, who was his estranged ex-wife. He had previously been removed from their home over domestic violence issues, the release said.

The sheriff’s office said Perez asked the other two men to help collect some property from his previous home and claimed that his estranged wife’s new boyfriend was physically abusing his handicapped son, the release said.

The men are accused of arming themselves and going to the home, where Perez took his son to a back room. He then returned and “began to strike both his estranged wife and her mother with the baseball bat,” the sheriff’s office said in the release. The other two men intervened verbally and physically, stopping Perez from continuing the assault, before they all fled from the home, the release said.

Hutchins and Wortman were both booked into the Mohave County Adult Detention Facility on felony charges of burglary and aggravated assault, the release said. Perez, who was arrested in Nevada, was booked into the Clark County Detention Center to await extradition back to Arizona. Perez faces felony charges of burglary and aggravated assault by domestic violence, the release said.

Mohave County is about 185 miles northwest of Phoenix.
