TAMPA - Three men entered an apartment and punched another man and hit him with a barbell before leaving with his wallet and money, police said.
Malachi Baker, 18, of Tampa, was arrested Monday on a charge of robbery-home invasion of less than $300. He has been released from jail on $15,000 bail.
Police are searching for the other two suspects.
The incident occurred about 7 p.m. Monday at an apartment in the 2400 block of East Hillsborough Avenue. The victim suffered scrapes and bruises but didn't need medical treatment.
Police say the victim recognized Baker because he recently met him through his child's mother.
