It happened last Wednesday on the on the 1200 block of Saddle Lakes Drive off of 83/84. Police say that two men went into the home at three in the morning while the owner slept. The victim told us he was awakened by the sound of a gun shot, that's when he said he saw two men with hoodies on and bandanas over their faces. They then proceeded to tie him up and took guns, money and other property.

33 year old Michael Pratt was arrested last week while he was sitting in a car where an officer smelled burning marijuana coming from the car. Pratt was in the passenger seat and also had meth on him. He is now facing drug charges and is charged with aggravated robbery. Gerrell Simmons was also arrested on the 3200 block of North First. Police found a gun on him when he was arrested. Both men confessed to the robbery and some of the property was recovered.

Both have a 250 thousand dollar bond...
