CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Two people were arrested Wednesday in connection with a home invasion in Boone County.

Boone County sheriff's deputies went to the home of Glen Kuhn, 67, near Bob White on Tuesday after Kuhn called to report he had been robbed at knifepoint, according to a criminal complaint on file in Boone County Magistrate Court.

According to the complaint, Eric Shane Rasnake, 34, of Buckhannon, and Ana Marie Pettry, 41, of Beckley, first phoned Kuhn to see if he was home, then went to his house and went inside. They allegedly held Kuhn at knifepoint, demanded money and prescription medication and physically assaulted him. Kuhn received minor injuries.

Rasnake and Pettry allegedly took about $700 in cash and 60 hydrocodone pills, the criminal complaint says.

Rasnake and Pettry were each charged with assault during the commission of a felony, first-degree robbery and violent crimes against the elderly. They were being held in the Southwestern Regional Jail on Thursday in lieu of $200,000 bond each.
