6 February 2008 — A Princeton area resident woke to find two men in her home early Sunday morning.
Crystal Horne, 19, US Hwy 70 E, Princeton reported that between 1:45 and 2:03 a.m. on Feb. 3 while she was sleeping two males, one with a handgun, apparently entered her home and went into her bedroom. They yelled for Ms. Horne and a friend staying there to get up and come into living room. Meanwhile, one of the men was rummaging through the house.
Ms. Horne reported a $130 PlayStation 2 system, $40 Nintendo Gamecube game, $50 cell phone and $100 in cash taken. Sheriff deputies are following up leads on the case.
