A group of six is behind bars after police say they bound their 41-year-old roommate's feet with tape, stapled his lips shut, and spent the night torturing him with a small power tool in theirUtah home near Salt Lake City.
Police believe the suspects were suspicious about their new roommate, who told authorities he'd moved into the house in Magna a week and a half earlier and had agreed to remodel the basement in exchange for rent.
"One of the suspect's claims over the last several weeks different people have pulled a gun on him in the street," Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal said. "They believe (the victim) was responsible for it."
