The victim told investigators that two men entered his house in 5000 block of Justice Branch Road, assaulted him and tried to get and use his 20-gauge, single-shot shotgun. Eventually, the victim said, one man took him outside to a shed while the second searched the house.
Investigators charged Courtney James, 19, and Michael Edward Ward, 40, both of Enfield, with first-degree burglary, attempted armed robbery and attempted larceny.
James and Ward were placed in the Halifax County Jail under separate $100,000 bonds. They were both scheduled to appear in court Aug. 4.
State Department of Correction records show that Ward has previous convictions for drug offenses.
