SPRING HILL, Fla. — Two Spring Hill siblings were arrested and charged for battering their grandparents in December at their Spring Hill home.

Siblings charged for battering grandparents

Beating occurred over money

Incident happened on December 21

Angel Mariani, 23, and Monique Mariani, 21, who, along with their sister Madelyn, had been living in a tent in their grandparents' backyard, are accused of beating their grandparents over money.

According to investigators, the suspects' grandfather had given his two granddaughters some money throughout the day on December 21, and when Angel found out and demanded money, too, his grandfather refused. That's when witnesses say Angel began punching his grandfather multiple times.

The grandfather was able to get away and hide in a shed. Afterward, Angel and Monique approached their grandmother in an attempt to confront their grandfather, who was still in the shed. When she asked them to leave, investigators said the two began punching and kicking their grandmother.

According to the report, another person tried to intervene and was battered by Angel.

Shortly after, Angel was able to force his way inside the shed and vandalized several items in there.
