Florida couple shot themselves, faked home invasion, to collect settlement money

Click Orlando:

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – A husband and wife are accused of shooting themselves at their Deltona home to fool law enforcement officers into thinking they were the victims of a home invasion so they could collect a cash settlement from their property management company.

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said that Doug Teixeira and Lindsey Pelton had been living at their Hayward Avenue home for about a month when they attempted to stage a crime scene the afternoon of Oct. 26.

The couple initially told deputies that two masked men came in their home through the sliding glass door. They said the men asked Pelton, “Where’s Javier?” and when she said she didn’t know who Javier was, they shot her in the arm, then shot Teixeira in the leg as he was coming out of the shower.

Deputies said they found several inconsistencies in the couple’s story and noted that the crime scene appeared to be staged.
