Only in Forida 8/20/2013

     The phrase things, "got a little carried away"  is often used when normal expectations for a situation are exceeded. Your spouse gets a little carried away with the yard work and cuts down your favorite plant. Your kids get a little carried away with their finger paints and end up covering each other head to toe with a mix of colors that would make any tie-dye loving hippy proud. However, a Greenacres man made what can only be called the understatement of the year when, being interviewed by police about the murder of his roommate, told officers that, “things just got a little carried away today”.

     Scott Tobiassen was described by his victim, Gerard Longo, as a violent man who bragged about just how “bad” he was. Unfortunately for Longo, he found out just how violent Tobiassen could be when they got into a fight just after Tobiassen lost his job for not passing a drug test. During the fight, Tobiassen struck Longo with a black metal pipe and stabbed him with a knife.

     Dragging Longo's body to the shower, Tobiassen called longtime friend Alexandra Peirce and invited her over. Showing her the body, Peirce first thought they were playing a practical joke on her. The reality of the situation set in quick as, according to Peirce, Tobiassen asked her, “Can you believe I did this? He deserved it".

     Tobiassen then tried to blackmail Peirce into keeping quiet, telling her, “What I did was murder and now that you know about it you are an accomplice”. Peirce, however, did call the police and led them to the apartment. Upon their arrival, police found what they described as a "gruesome discovery".

     Tobiassen had told Peirce that he was going to hide Longo's body, but what he didn't tell her was how he planned to do it. When officers arrived at the apartment, they found that Tobiassen had dismembered Longo's corpse, hiding Longo’s legs in trash bags. Tobiassen had also cut off Longo's arms, head, and hands, placed them in one tote bag, and placed the torso down to the kneecaps in another. Tobiassen was arrested and is being held without bail, charged with murder.
