Two arrested in connection to Somerset Co. home invasion

Two men are in custody after troopers say they assaulted a man during a home invasion, in Somerset County. 

Maryland State Police say on Tuesday, around 6:40 AM, troopers with the Princess Anne Barrack were dispatched to a residence on Greenwood School Road for a reported home invasion. Once on scene, troopers encountered the male victim who was injured. 

After further investigation, police say they learned that two men came to the home and began knocking on the door. According to the report, when the victim unlocked the door, the two men forced their way into the residence and proceeded to hit the victim repeatedly on his head with what was described as a pistol and a "police-style baton." Authorities say various items were taken during the incident. 

The suspects then fled the scene and the victim contacted 911.

On Friday, MSP says 39-year-old Michael Delaney Kingery, of Westover, and 26-year-old Robert Tyler Waltmeyer, of Hebron, were arrested and charged with home invasion, burglary, first- and second-degree assault, armed robbery, theft and related weapons and other charges.

Kingery and Waltmeyer are currently held without bail at the Somerset County Detention Center.
