BRADENTON - Authorities arrested two people and are searching for a third suspect in an armed home invasion Friday night.
Seven people were playing cards inside a home in the 3800 block of 10th St. Court E. when three men dressed in black entered through an open door with handguns and a shotgun, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's 0ffice.
The suspects ordered the victims to empty their pockets. One victim in a back room called 911. When deputies arrived, the suspects fled and shot at a neighbor. Deputies used police dog Rosco to track the suspects.
The dog bit one suspect, Joshua Hunter, 23, who was found hiding inside a dumpster at the Manatee Adolescence treatment Center. A second suspect, Michael Johnson, 27, was arrested inside the treatment center. Deputies are still looking for a third suspect known as "Forty," who fled in a newer model tan van.
Deputies recovered everything that had been stolen, as well as handguns and a shotgun used by the suspects.
