Scott was arrested after the victim said he was one of the intruders. But during an ongoing investigation, detectives were able to identify other suspects and uncover information that seemed to go along with Scott’s story.
Late on Tuesday evening, detectives arrested Aaron Tungate, 29, and Victor Frantz, 27.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Richard Shannon Patrick, 40, of Somerset. Once caught, he will be charged with burglary first degree, robbery first degree and two counts of theft of a firearm.
Tungate and Frantz are being held in the Pulaski County jail charged with robbery, burglary and theft of a firearm.
Police said Monday morning, three masked men forced their way into the home on Glade Fork Road with a knife and baseball bat. Once inside, a scuffle broke out between a man inside the home and one of the intruders.
Police said the victim managed to pull the mask off of one of the intruders’ face and recognized him as Gregory Scott.
“If I got into it like they are saying and a gun went off and I swung a knife… C’mon you know, you don’t see any marks, do ya?” Scott said from jail Tuesday.
Scott did admit that he lives right above the homeowner and got into an argument with him right before Christmas.
“Maybe he is scared, maybe I put the fear of God in him and I was the last person he seen,” Scott said.
If you have any information on the whereabouts of Richard Shannon Patrick, you are asked to call police.
