JACKSON, Tenn. – Two people are in custody after a home invasion, Wednesday night. Police were called to a home in the 500 block of Lexington Avenue just before 9:00 p.m. Wednesday. The first officers to arrive reported they heard screaming from the residence and seeing people scrambling inside the house. As police tried to get inside, several men reportedly ran out of house or escaped through windows. Officers were able to catch Antoino Deshun Lancaster as he allegedly came out a window on the back of the house. Untario Kidd was arrested a short time later nearby. Police said both men were identified as having been involved in the robbery. According to a news release, the victims said that five men burst into the home with at least two of them being armed. The suspects allegedly tied the victims up with duct tape and demanded money. They were inside the house when they heard the officer at the door and began scrambling to find a way to escape. Two guns that authorities believe were abandoned by the suspects were recovered inside. Both Kidd and Lancaster were arraigned in City Court, Thursday morning. Kidd‘s bond was set at $100,000 and a hold was placed on him for violating his probation on a previous drug possession charge. Kidd is also on probation in general sessions court and additional charges are anticipated. Lancaster‘s bond was set at $50,000. Their next court date is October 25th. Police are still seeking three other black males who were dressed in dark or black clothing who were allegedly involved in the home invasion. Anyone with information, contact Investigator Ken Jones at the Jackson Police Department or Crime Stoppers at 424-8477 or on the web at www.424TIPS.org.
