DANVILLE — Danville police have arrested two suspects, and have a warrant for a third, in connection with a Sunday morning home invasion that sent a Danville man to the hospital.

Police have charged Ronnie Wayne Pruitt, 26, and Timothy Gordon Wilson, 27, both of Pelham, N.C., with aggravated malicious wounding and burglary, according to a news release from Lt. Mike Mondul, of the Danville Police Department.

Danville police hold active warrants for a third suspect, John Lindsey Pruitt, 27, also of Pelham, N.C., for aggravated malicious wounding, burglary and assault and battery.

Police say three men kicked open the front door of a home in the 500 block of Cedarbrook Drive at about 2 a.m. Sunday, and beat the victim with tools.

The victim, a 30-year-old man, was taken to Danville Regional Medical Center, then transferred to Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital. Mondul said the victim remained in the intensive care unit Monday.
