Authorities say Ray Vincent beat a man with brass knuckles during a home invasion.
A pair of men who broke into a home,
terrorizing a couple and beating the man with brass knuckles have been charged
with felony assault.
The suspects, Jonathan Z. Rowland, 28, and
Ray Franklin Vincent, both of DeKalb County, are charged with aggravated assault
and aggravated burglary. The felony assault charges carries three to six years
in prison if they are convicted. They are due for arraignment tomorrow in
General Sessions Court.
Jonathan Rowland reportedly participated in the home invasion that left a man seriously injured.
According to Sheriff Patrick Ray, the men
are accused of breaking into a residence on Redmon Road and attacking the
couple there. The sheriff said the men entered the home and pushed the woman to
the floor, one of the men brandishing a metal pipe. The men then turned their
attention to her boyfriend, beating him with both the pipe and a pair of brass
knuckles which Vincent reportedly used to repeatedly punch the male victim in
the body and face. The man was seriously injured in the attack.
The sheriff did not revealed the reason
for the home invasion and felonious assault.
