More arrests are possible, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, as additional details are developing as the investigation unfolds in the Lake Streety Road murders.
FROSTPROOF — As the Lake Streety Road triple homicide investigation continues, four people were arrested by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office on Friday in connection to the compound at 0 Sarver Ave. occupied by Tony “TJ” Wiggins Jr., his girlfriend Mary Whittemore and his brother William Robert Wiggins.
PCSO detectives arrested Wiggins’ father, Tony Lee Wiggins Sr., 57, on environmental charges, as well as Robert Keene, 43, Nydia Ivette Liboy, 55, and Chyanne Marie Eccleston, 20, who all lived at the rural property in south Polk County with Wiggins Jr., Whittemore and Robert Wiggins.
Sheriff Grady Judd had previously said in a press conference that Wiggins Jr., his brother, girlfriend and family were all living “off the grid” and had no running water.
Wiggins Sr. is charged with two counts of nuisance injurious to health, unpermitted landfill, unlawful storage, used waste tires, failure to report found property, unlawful use of dairy case and failure to sign a citation, according to records provided by the sheriff’s office.
The legal reference to “nuisance injurious to health” is generally defined as: Untreated or improperly treated human waste, garbage, offal, dead animals or dangerous waste materials from manufacturing processes, air pollutants, gasses and noisome odors which are harmful to human or animal life.
Keene, the Wiggins brothers’ uncle, according to sources, faces two counts of nuisance injurious to health, unpermitted landfill and unlawful storage of waste tires.
Liboy and Eccleston were both charged with two counts of nuisance injurious to health. Sources have reported that Eccleston was the girlfriend of Robert Wiggins.
Wiggins Jr., 26, was arrested for first-degree murder by PCSO deputies after he allegedly fatally shot Brandon Rollins, Damion Tillman and Keven Springfield on July 17. Also arrested were Whittemore, 27, and Robert Wiggins, 21, who detectives believe watched from their truck as the killings took place. They were charged with accessory after the fact to a capital felony.
Wiggins Jr. is being held in the Polk County Jail without bail. Robert Wiggins and Whittemore are being held with bail set at $46,000 and $45,000, respectively.
More arrests are possible, according to the PCSO, as additional details are developing as the investigation unfolds.
Polk Sheriff’s Charities collected money from the community to pay for the funerals of the three slain friends who were meeting to night fish at Lake Streety in Frostproof when they were brutally killed on the long clay road in the backwoods of Polk County.
