Four men in Indiana are facing serious charges after police say they broke into a woman’s home and held her there at gunpoint while demanding the money from her government stimulus check.
According to the Daily Mail, Paul, Phillip, Christopher and Jacob were each charged with burglary with a deadly weapon, attempted armed robbery, criminal confinement with a deadly weapon, burglary, and breaking and entering.
Indiana police said all four men knew the woman and knew she had recently received her stimulus payment. Police say they entered her home around 1:30 am using a spare key and woke her at gunpoint, demanding cash.
Police allege the men searched the house for money and became frustrated when they could not find any, and that Phillip then assaulted the woman. These are allegations from police, and the charges have not been proven in court.
According to the report, the men left around 6:00 am and took her cell phone so she could not call for help. Once she believed they were gone, the woman drove herself to the Lake County sheriff’s office to report what happened, and all four men were arrested a short time later.
Phillip, Christopher and Jacob were each being held on a $75,000 bond, while Paul was being held without bond. The Daily Mail report did not include comments from the men or from attorneys on their behalf.
