Man Admits to Driving Getaway Car After Violent Robbery

A Horsham man who admitted to driving the getaway car following a home invasion robbery in which a disabled man was beaten is facing as much as 20 to 40 years behind bars, according to an article on phillyburbs.com. 

Troy Schussler, 32, of Horsham, pleaded guilty to his role in the March 2011 home invasion robbery of a Hatboro man

Besides Schussler, Huett Johnson, 32, of Hatboro; Michael Wroblewski, 27, of Hatfield; Teron Utsey, 30, of Warminster; and, Robert Johnson, 32, of Perkasie were arrested in charged in connection with the robbery which, according to police, involved beating a then 33-year-old disabled man with a crow bar and pistol whipping him. 

All except Schussler are still awaiting their days in court, according to the article. 

At the time of the arrests, police said that Huett Johnson, Utsey and Wroblewski surreptitiously entered the victim's residence via the rear door during the March 26, 2011 robbery. 

Once inside, Kendall Johnson, who police said was armed with a large crow bar and Utsey, who police said was armed with a semi-automatic handgun, allegedly confronted the victim while he slept in his second floor bedroom. Police said the two demanded money and prescription medications. The victim refused and was severely beaten with the crow bar.

During the incident, Utsey allegedly threatened the victim with the handgun, firing several shots inside the room. 

The victim attempted to escape the residence, but police said the suspects pushed him down the stairs. Prior to exiting the residence, police said the victim was beaten repeatedly with the crow bar and pistol whipped with the handgun. He was ultimately able to escape to a neighbor’s home and the police were called.

The suspects left the residence with a small fire safe, according to law enforcement. Upon allegedly breaking into the safe, the suspects learned that it contained nothing of value.
