Allen County Man Scares Away Home Invader

Kentucky State Police want to find two men who tried to force their way into an Allen County home early Tuesday morning.

The alleged home invasion happened around 3:00 AM at Gordon Absher's house at 3440 old Bowling Green Road in Scottsville.

Absher says someone rang the doorbell. When he looked outside he saw two men with their faces covered holding shotguns. Absher opened the door and pointed a pistol and one of the suspects, then grabbed his gun. Absher says the two men ran down the driveway to their truck, leaving the shotgun and other evidence behind.

Police are looking for two white men in their early 20's, traveling in a small dark-colored pick-up truck.

Update from Louisville’s WAVE3.com of August 11, 2006

State police have made two arrests in connection with an attempted home invasion that was foiled by the homeowner.

Trooper Jimmy Kitchens says the two men were armed with shotguns and the homeowner was also armed. When the man opened the door, he took the shotgun away from one of the suspects and pointed his own gun at the two, who ran from the scene.

Under arrest and charged with first-degree robbery are: 20-year-old Wesley Perkins of Adolphus and 21-year-old Benjamin Yoder pf Franklin. They're being held in the Allen County Jail.
