(October 2, 2008)—Two men were in the Bell County Jail Thursday after a Temple woman’s screams scared off two armed would-be robbers who kicked in the door of her apartment early Wednesday morning.
Police responded to the report of the home invasion around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday at Canyon Creek Town Homes.
The resident told officers she was in her apartment when the two men kicked the door open and entered with a handgun, demanding money.
She screamed loudly, police said, which alerted neighbors and scared the two men off.
Evidence led investigators to an address in the 800 block of East Avenue M in Temple where officers were waiting when two men pulled up in a minvan.
Officers detained the men and a search of the minivan turned up a handgun and other evidence, police said Thursday.
Karon Johnson, 19, of Temple and Katory Freeman, 22, of Temple were arrested and later charged with aggravated robbery.
Their bonds were set at $100,000.
