MARION COUNTY, Fla. -- A man has been arrested for fatally beating his roommate with a sledgehammer and a claw hammer because there was no toilet tissue in the home, authorities said.

 

Franklin Paul Crow, 56, has been charged Monday with homicide for the death of Kenneth Matthews, 58, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office.

 

Crow told investigators that the men were fighting over the weekend about the toilet tissue when Matthews pulled out a rifle. Crow said he then began beating Matthews with the sledgehammer and claw hammer, according to an affidavit.

 

Capt. Thomas Bibb said Crow initially denied his involvement with the crime, but confessed when questioned.

 

Matthews was beaten so badly he had to be identified through his fingerprints, detectives said.

 

Crow was being held at the Marion County jail without bond. It was not immediately known whether he had an attorney.

Man, 56, Charged in Roommate's Death

 

A 56-year-old man accused of beating his roommate to death with a sledgehammer and a claw hammer was arrested Monday morning.

 

Franklin Paul Crow was charged with homicide in the weekend death of Kenneth Matthews, 58. Crow is being held without bail in the Marion County Jail.

 

Authorities with the Marion County Sheriff's Office said the suspect beat the victim in the head with a sledgehammer in their Southeast 95th Street Road home after getting upset there was no toilet tissue in the home.

 

Capt. Thomas Bibb said Crow initially denied his involvement in the crime, at first blaming it on a local motorcycle gang.

 

Crow confessed after detectives knocked holes in his story and alibi, Bibb, said.

 

Detectives said Matthews had been beaten so badly that officials had to identify the body through a set of fingerprints.
