“SYNOPSIS OF OFFENSE & ARREST:
On the night of January 28th, 2014 Henry Hokett was woken by a knock at the front door of his residence. When Hokett answered the door, two armed white males forced their way into the residence and assaulted Hokett. Hokett required medical attention, which he received at Decatur Morgan Hospital. He was treated and released.
During the burglary several guns and money were taken. One of the offenders threatened the victim and his family with bodily harm if the police were contacted. During the incident one of the offenders also fired a single gunshot into a TV monitor that was inside the residence.
Due to the threats, Hokett waited approx. 2 days before he filed a report with the Decatur Police 
Department. This case was forwarded to the Violent Crimes Unit. Detective Burleson was assigned the case and began an investigation into the events of that night.
During the course of the investigation Detective Burleson was able to identify Matthew Lyle Bond and Stephen Joshua Garrison as the offenders in this case. Detective Burleson obtained warrants for both individuals for the charge of Burglary in the 1st Degree.
