AUTHORITIES
LOOKING FOR SUSPECT IN DENVER HOME INVASION
By Jon Mayhew
DENVER – Authorities
are looking for a man they say pointed a gun at
two people during a Thursday home invasion in
Denver.
Detectives say Aric Doran Torrence, 27,
of Crab Apple Trail, Denver, went to a residence
at 1470 Triangle Circle and walked into the
house. Authorities say Ryan Sykes was sleeping on
the couch and woke up to find Torrence, asking
for Nicholas Dustin Harmon.
When Sykes told Torrence he didn't know
where Harmon was, that's when Torrence pointed
the rifle at him.
Sykes ran out the back door to a
neighbor’s house and that’s when Harmon
came out of the bedroom and saw Torrence running
behind Sykes. Harmon returned to the
bedroom and locked the door. Torrence
returned to the residence and kicked the bedroom
door open. Torrence told Harmon to give him
what he had and Harmon turned over a shoebox
containing a number of one-dollar bills. He
also took several 20-dollar bills from a dresser.
Harmon said he followed Torrence
out of the house asking him why he was doing
this. Torrence then turned around and pointed the
rifle at Harmon and told him to get back in the
house. He left the scene in a
burgundy van.
Torrence is charged with Felony
breaking and entering, and robbery with a
dangerous weapon. He has been entered
into the National Crime Information Computer.
If anyone sees Torrence, authorities say
do not approach him because he is armed and
dangerous. Call 911 or Crimestoppers of
Lincolnton/Lincoln County at 704-736-8909.
