On that date, two intruders hit a woman who lives in the Buddington Road several times with a baseball bat, held three other residents at gunpoint and stole gaming systems, cash and cell phones, according to police.

The two men were wearing masks and dark clothing went they invaded the house shortly before 10 p.m., police said.

The female victim was taken to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital and officials said her injuries are not life-threatening.

A next-door neighbor said the woman ran to his home, said she was attacked and asked to use the phone to call for help.

Chapman was arrested Monday morning and charged with home invasion, conspiracy to commit home invasion, first-degree robbery and first-degree burglary. He is being held on a $500,000 bond.
