MECHANICSBURG, Pa. — A man was taken into custody after injuring two people during a home invasion on Monday.
Samuel Edwards III, 29, is facing aggravated assault and simple assault charges for his role in the incident.
Police say they responded to a home in the first block of West Green Street in Mechanicsburg for an active search of a suspect around 2:00 a.m. on March 2.
Upon arrival, police found that Edwards III had shown up to the residence while intoxicated, and attacked one of the victims.
During that attack, Edwards III allegedly got on top of the victim and used his thumbs to try and gouge out the victim's eyes.
When a second victim tried to intervene, Edwards III bit off half of her pinky finger, according to court documents.
Edwards III was located and taken into custody.
He is in Cumberland County Prison awaiting arraignment.
