A man arrived home to find someone he knew on his front porch, with two others he didn't know.
WORCESTER, MA—Two from Texas and one from Worcester have been arrested on charges of invading a home and assaulting the residents.
On Wednesday, Sept. 14, at approximately 3:30 p.m., Worcester police responded to a Blake Street apartment for a report of an assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. The two victims - a 55-year-old woman and 53-year-old man - talked with officers. The woman had a swollen forehead and cuts on her knee, and wooden spindles lay on the floor in the common hallway.
The man said he got home to find a woman he knew standing on the front porch with two unknown males. As he approached the residence, all three went into the main hallway and locked the door. The victim unlocked the door and went in, and was then attacked by one of the males, who punched him and pushed him down, said police. The fight moved into the apartment, with the female victim inside getting struck in the face by the female suspect, said police.
The two victims pushed the three out of their apartment, when one of them punched the woman in the face. The female suspect was seen to be in possession of a handgun and a Taser. The three suspects eventually left the apartment.
While the victims talked with police, the suspects were spotted heading back toward the apartment. The officers had conversation with the three and then placed them under arrest.
The suspects were identified as Brian McCloud, 36, North Long Lake Road, Fenton, MI, Brenton Boudreau, 45, Stockdale Street, Flint, MI, and Meghan Moore, 33, of Worcester. All three were charged with Assault and Battery, Assault with a Dangerous Weapon and Home Invasion. All three will be arraigned tomorrow, September 15, 2016, at the Worcester County District Courthouse.
