Man Allegedly Goes on a Rampage After Neighbors Refuse His Bizarre Request — His Explanation Raises Eyebrows

A Scottsdale man went on a violent rampage and sH๏τ up an apartment building after his neighbors refused to take cocaine with him.

49-year-old Samuel Ellery Sedgwick was arrested following reports that he fired 10 rounds at an apartment complex near Miller and Osborn roads on Thursday morning.

Sedgwick reportedly appeared to be in an altered state when he offered cocaine to apartment residents, according to court documents reviewed by FOX 10. When they had rejected, he allegedly said that the refusal was “offensive to his culture” and started beating up a man.

A second person –– who feared for the victim’s death –– then grabbed a claw hammer and hit the 49-year-old in the face twice. The suspect then pulled out a gun and threatened to kill everyone before he pistol-whipped the injured man and escaped.

Sedgwick went to his nearby apartment and was in rage when he looked at himself in the mirror and saw that his tooth had been chipped away.

Afterwards, the man rode his bicycle back to the original scene and sH๏τ 10 rounds at the complex where one bullet tore through a parking structure and hit a neighboring unit. One sH๏τ even hit a window and a ceiling of an apartment.
