Two charged in Nash County home invasion, rape
Nash County sheriff's investigators have arrested two Sharpsburg men in connection with a rape and home invasion in Nashville Sunday night.
Posted — UpdatedTony Marichal Sharp, 19, of Weaver Circle, and Byron Dale Whitaker, 21, of Sharpe Road, were arrested Wednesday, each on charges of first-degree burglary, robbery with a dangerous weapon and three counts of first-degree kidnapping.
Whitaker also faces charges of first-degree rape and first-degree sexual offense.
The alleged crimes happened around 8:45 p.m. Sunday at a home on Old White Oak Road.
On Sunday, investigators said they were looking for three men wearing red bandanas around their faces who fled in either a silver or gray car.
It was unclear whether authorities are still looking for a third person in the case.
Sheriff's Capt. Pat Joyner only said Thursday that the suspects know the victims and that it was not a random act.
