United States:Â A friend of a rental property owner is facing charges after allegedly beating a renter with brass knuckles during a rent disagreement, according to authorities.
Brian Thomas, 21, attended the landlord to visit a renter Thursday to collect overdue rent and drug money, according to a Tulsa Police Department Facebook post. Furthermore, when the tenant was behind on rent, Thomas beat him with brass knuckles, then pointed a gun at him as well as threatened to kill him, according to authorities.
