Fake Amazon Workers Attack Savannah Man with Sledgehammer in Home Invasion

Savannah: A shocking incident unfolded when two men, dressed as Amazon delivery drivers, attacked a 66-year-old man named George “Dick” Hardison. They knocked on his door early Saturday morning, pretending to deliver a package. When he opened the door, they forced their way inside.

The attackers demanded money and then brutally beat Hardison with a sledgehammer. They fled the scene with just $80, leaving him seriously injured. Neighbors heard his cries for help, and he was quickly taken to the hospital, where he received 14 stitches for his head injuries.

Police are actively searching for the suspects, who will face serious charges once caught. Meanwhile, Hardison’s coworkers at O’Connell’s Pub have rallied together, starting a GoFundMe campaign that has already raised nearly $8,500 to support him during his recovery.

Amazon has confirmed that these men were not legitimate delivery drivers. They stated that their internal investigation showed no scheduled delivery was made, and they are working to remove unauthorized Amazon apparel from circulation. This incident has left the community shaken, highlighting the dangers of impersonation crimes.
