“Latin Bad Boy” Nickolay Petrov Is Not Exactly Latin, But He Is a Very Bad Boy
February 5th, 2008I remember watching Latinolicious a few months ago and thinking …
1.) The production values are cheap on this below average crime drama (with above average sex)
2.) There’s something really wild and scary about top man Nickolay Petrov. (Just look into those eyes!)

It appears that I was right on both guesses.
Here’s a police report from the Sarasota Herald Tribune about the alleged crimes of Edmon Vardanyan (a.k.a. Nickolay Petrov)
“A Tampa man was hired to travel between New York and Sarasota for a series of brutal attacks on an older Sarasota couple over an alleged debt, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Tampa announced Tuesday.
Edmon Vardanyan, 23, was hired to watch and hurt the couple, the FBI said in records released Tuesday. The FBI did not offer details on the amount of the alleged debt or who was reportedly owed.
Vardanyan, who is already charged in New York in connection with an April attack that fractured the 64-year-old woman’s skull, now faces a federal charge of crossing state lines possibly to kill the couple.
The FBI affidavit stated that Vardanyan began stalking the couple in September 2006, when the 69-year-old man was hospitalized for two weeks after he was attacked in a Home Depot parking lot in New York.
Three months later, Vardanyan ducked under the couple’s closing garage door in Sarasota and beat them both with a hammer, fracturing the man’s skull.
Vardanyan said he was paid between $500 and $1,000 for surveillance or violence against the couple because they were refusing to pay the debt, the FBI said. The FBI did not identify who hired him.
He also said he was willing to accept an offer to kill the couple for $20,000, the FBI said.
The couple fear for their lives, have lingering health effects from their injuries and refuse to return to their Sarasota residence, the FBI said.
The federal charge carries a possible prison sentence of up to 20 years. Vardanyan is being held in Tampa’s Orient Road jail.”
