The caller reported that two suspects had forced their way into the home, then displayed a pistol and demanded money from the tenant - Levi Bedwell.
Deputies learned that Bedwell and his girlfriend were asleep inside the home as the suspects pried open the front door.
The perpetrators then entered the bedroom, where they kicked and pistol whipped Bedwell, demanding cash and marijuana.
Chief Deputy Clark Cottom states that one of the suspects threatened to shoot Bedwell, however no shots were fired inside the home.
As the suspects fled the residence, Bedwell fired two rounds at their vehicle with a 20ga shotgun smashing out the passenger side window. Deputies did discover broken glass near the roadway.

Both suspects were described as white males in their 20’s.
The weapons were described as semi-automatic pistols, and it is believed that one was silver.
Deputies report that Bedwell’s head and face were covered with blood, however he declined medical treatment.
