Man fatally shoots intruder at North Fort Myers hotel Associated Press,
August 25, 2002 – 07:20 PM
FORT MYERS, Fla.

A man fatally shot one intruder and critically injured another after
they forced their way into his hotel room during an attempted robbery.

Steven D. Robey, 46, was pinned to the bed with a gun to his head
Saturday when he grabbed his .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol from under
a pillow and started shooting. One of the suspects had grabbed Robey’s
16-year-old daughter and was bringing her into the bathroom.

Phillip C. Nelson, 42, of Fort Myers, died at Lee Memorial Hospital from
his injuries.

Ernest Major, 22, of Lee County, was shot in his abdomen, arm and leg,
said Lee County sheriff’s Capt. Richard Chard.

He was listed in critical but stable condition Saturday night at Lee
Memorial Hospital and was in the intensive care unit Sunday.

Major has been charged with attempted murder, attempted robbery and
felony murder, for the death of Nelson in the commission of a crime,
said Lee sheriff’s Lt. Richard Dobson.

Robey, of New Smyrna Beach, had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. He
has not been charged with a crime, and Chard said Robey acted reasonably
in defending himself and his daughter.

Robey said he had ordered room service Saturday at the Howard Johnson
and walked down to the front desk to check on the order.
The suspects were waiting in the lobby, he said.

Back in his room, Robey thought the knock on the door was his room
service, but instead found the intruders. One of them put a gun to his
head and pushed him onto the bed.

The girl was not injured.

Investigators said the suspects may be responsible for four other recent
armed robberies at local hotels.
