Teen who plotted to kill jogger was fought off with martial artist
A Florida teenager who was arrested after he tried to kill a jogger planned to keep the man’s corpse in his closet “to fulfil his sexual fantasies,” law enforcement officials said.
Logan Smith, 18, of Cocoa, tried to strangle the jogger to death but was overpowered by his victim, who used martial arts on him and detained him until police arrived.
When Smith launched his attack, he “tossed a clothing robe belt over the victim’s head until it was around the front area of the victim’s neck.”
The victim, however, used his martial arts training to fight back.
