Home Invasion Leads to Arrests

ATHENS — An aggravated robbery outside Malakoff has led to three arrests, according to Henderson County Sheriff Botie Hillhouse. The suspects are 18-year-old Robert Hocutt Jr., 27-year-old Stetsen Hall, and a juvenile. Around 3:15 Monday morning, the sheriff’s office got a call reporting that two men had entered the residence on Highway 31 west, one with a knife and one with a gun. According to the caller, the men said they were the “law” and put a gun to a victim’s head, placing him in the closet. After sheriff’s deputies and Malakoff police responded, all three suspects were arrested and charged with aggravated robbery. Hillhouse also says investigators recovered some property that was taken during the home invasion.
