According to police, Olson, 60, was at his home in the 400 block of Little Street when Morris and Sadowski entered the residence around 10:30 p.m.
Police said both men assaulted Olson before restraining him for an extended time. According to authorities, the men used various methods to torture the victim before robbing him of various items.
Court records obtained by The Beaver County Times, Morris told Olson he was "here for my watch." The two men then proceeded to put glue on his eyes, duct taped his mouth shut, handcuffed him, repeatedly punctured his body with knives, burned him with lit cigarettes and threatened to kill him, reports said.
Police said the men also forced Olson to send them money via CashApp and also stole his phone, jewelry and family antiques.
According to police, Olson knew both Morris and Sadowski before the attack.
“They laughed the whole time and they stopped to eat dinner...I never prayed so hard in my life for it to be over, but I must have a greater purpose,” Olson told WPXI.
Both suspects were denied bail and are scheduled to appear in court next week, according to court records.
