April Incident Leads To Arrest Of Two

GREEENSBURG, Ind. – Two men are facing accusations in connection to an April assault in Greensburg.

Authorities arrested 19-year-old Ray L. Bebout on a warrant Monday for Theft and Battery.

26-year-old Ora J. Murphy was arrested over the weekend and charged with misdemeanor battery resulting in bodily injury.

According to the Greensburg Daily News, the victim allegedly told detectives that Murphy was driving a car with Bebout and the victim as passengers.

Investigators say Murphy stopped the car in the 5200 block of CR 220 SW and Bebout left the vehicle and started a fight with the victim, eventually beating him up and threatening him with a stick prior to taking the victims cell phone and $120 in cash.

The newspaper reports Murphy said “finish [the victim] off” before Bebout allegedly picked up the stick.
