He placed the mallet and the Axe aerosol on the ground next to him while he waited for the [victim] to come running down the street as he did regularly for exercise. The defendant waited for the victim to run past the light pole and proceeded to run after him,\u201d a deputy wrote in the arrest affidavit. \u201cThe defendant then tossed the clothing robe belt over the victim\u2019s head until it was around the front area of the victim\u2019s neck.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The victim knew right away what was happening and put to use his martial arts skills to stop Smith, deputies said.<\/p>\n<p>WOFL reports:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Smith said he was going to kill the victim by strangulation, before dragging his body into his home on the bedsheet, deputies said. He explained that the mallet would be used to strike the victim and the aerosol would be used to spray the victim\u2019s eyes, disabling his vision, deputies said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe further planned to place the victim\u2019s body into his closet where the defendant stated no one would know, and the defendant could have the victim\u2019s body all to himself. The defendant stated that he also planned to play with the victim to fulfill his sexual fantasies,\u201d the arrest report said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Smith allegedly told deputies he had been observing the man for six weeks and was analyzing his route, which passed by Smith\u2019s residence. The report said he informed deputies he decided to try to kill the man after watching the movie&nbsp;<em>Scream, <\/em>according to additional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox35orlando.com\/news\/fox-35-exclusive-insight-into-teen-accused-of-attacking-jogger\">reporting<\/a> by WOFL.<\/p>\n<p>His mother\u2019s boyfriend spoke to the outlet about the 18-year-old.<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe just thought it was odd that he wanted to go out to the movies by himself. A person like Logan is more of a loner.
