LARGO, Fla. - Two Largo brothers found themselves behind bars after they beat a roommate because he ate their food, according to police.

Officers say Kevin Lambert and Dustin Lambert punched the man and beat him with acoustic and electric guitars at their residence at 1130 Donegon Road # 30.

The victim fled to a neighbor's home and tried to call police. But the brothers followed and took the phone away, according to a report.

The brothers were arrested Sunday on felony charges of aggravated battery, false imprisonment, burglary and witness tampering.

They are each being held on bond totalling $70,000.

It's not known if they have obtained legal representation.
