On Monday, The Bartow County Sheriff’s Office announced multiple charges for a man and a woman after an attempted home invasion on March 11th.
According to Sheriff Clark Millsap, a female resident at 200 East Pleasant Valley Road called 911 just before 1 p.m. to report that a man was outside her home and had fired shots into her door.
Deputies and investigators responded. The first deputy on-scene stopped a black SUV leaving the driveway. A female driver and a male passenger were detained at the time for investigation. The victim was located in her home and was not injured by the bullets fired into her home.
Sheriff Millsap stated that after a thorough investigation, the male passenger, identified as 36-year-old Wilmar Perez, and the driver, identified as 28-year-old Katherine Barlow (both of Cleveland, Tennessee) were both arrested. Perez’ charges: armed robbery, two counts of aggravated assault, possession of a controlled substance in schedule four, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, criminal trespass, burglary in the second degree, possession of a controlled substance by an inmate, and theft by taking. Barlow’s charges: armed robbery, two counts of aggravated assault, burglary in the second degree, and possession of a controlled substance by an inmate.
Investigators determined that the parties knew each other and that this was not a random crime.
