"My detectives worked round the clock to bring these perpetrators to justice," said Sheehan. "I am very proud of their commitment to their community and the law enforcement profession. This is a true testament to the dedication and work ethic of my personnel."

The arrests stem from an incident that took place .  Police allege Yanosick and the Dorringtons forced their way into the room of the victim and assaulted him. According to investigators, the victim reported that he was struck several times with a baton and handcuffed. He said his attackers also tried to duck-tape his mouth shut.  The victims said one of the attackers concealed his face with a ski mask and the second concealed his face with a bandana.

Robbery appears to have been the motive in the attack, as the victim reported that the three men stole $20,000 in cash from him. Police did not immediately reveal why the victim had $20,000 in his motel room.

According to Sheehan, the victim  sustained serious bodily injury in the attack. He suffered a fractured nose, fractured hand, and multiple contusions on his upper body and legs from being struck with the baton.
