A South Strabane Township man was arrested Thursday in connection with a Sept. 30 home invasion.

Bobby Leon Cook, 21, of 1090 Michigan Ave., and another man allegedly forced their way into the home of Deloris Davis and Renee Edmonds at 601 Broad St. on Aug. 13, 2008.

The men reportedly knocked on the door and asked to use the bathroom. When Davis refused their request, they pushed past her and entered the home.

Cook reportedly demanded money from Edmonds while the other man pointed a handgun at her. Police said Cook yelled at the gunman, "Shoot her. Kill her," police said.

One shot was fired, hitting the east wall of the living room. The bullet went through the wall, across Canton Avenue, and into a house at 595 Broad.

The bullet passed within inches of three children who were sleeping before it became lodged in a couch where a child slept.

The other man is black, between 5 feet, 5 inches and 5 feet, 7 inches tall with a thin build and was wearing a white shirt with a white bandana over his face. Davis told police that she did not recognize him.

Cook was placed in Washington County Jail Monday on a bench warrant. He was arraigned before Senior District Judge Marjorie Teagarden on the additional charges of criminal conspiracy, robbery and burglary. She set an additional bond at $5,000. A preliminary hearing is set for Nov. 2.
