Two people are under arrest following a violent home invasion early Wednesday morning in Torrington.
Police said shortly before 1 a.m. Jacob Greene, 29, and Cassie Lucca, 19, broke into a home on Dutton Hill that was occupied by a former boyfriend of Lucca.
After breaking into a basement door, Greene and Lucca are accused of confronting a male occupant of the home with a pistol-style paintball gun armed with a laser site that Greene was carrying, according to police. Police said the paintball gun resembled a real handgun.
Police said Greene and Lucca demanded items Lucca had previously left there at which time a physical altercation broke out between Greene and the male resident. Greene struck the resident who fought back and hit him with Greene's weapon, police said.
