DANVILLE — Danville police have arrested two suspects, and have a warrant for a third, in connection with a Sunday morning home invasion that sent a Danville man to the hospital.

Police have charged Ronnie Wayne Pruitt, 26, and Timothy Gordon Wilson, 27, both of Pelham, N.C., with aggravated malicious wounding and burglary, according to a news release from Lt. Mike Mondul, of the Danville Police Department.

Danville police hold active warrants for a third suspect, John Lindsey Pruitt, 27, also of Pelham, N.C., for aggravated malicious wounding, burglary and assault and battery.

Police say three men kicked open the front door of a home in the 500 block of Cedarbrook Drive at about 2 a.m. Sunday, and beat the victim with tools.

The victim, a 30-year-old man, was taken to Danville Regional Medical Center, then transferred to Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital. Mondul said the victim remained in the intensive care unit Monday.


This is sad. But hardly in my opinion qualifies as a "home invasion". When I hear the words HOME INVASION, I think of innocent people asleep in their beds when the door is suddenly, violently broken in and armed thugs storm into your home...you know, kind of like back in the Janet Reno days. (Okay, that was a cheap shot, but you get the idea)

This is more a case of a domestic dispute between persons of some relation, possibly brother/cousins. And not to come off as overly judgmental, but this looks a lot like a case of caucasus-refuseous intoxicus.
