A 22-year-old Clearwater man has been arrested in connection with an August home invasion that turned into a gun battle.
Andre L. Miles, of 903 Engman St., was arrested last week on two counts of shooting into an occupied dwelling and one count each of armed robbery, aggravated battery with a firearm, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of cocaine.
The home invasion occurred on Aug. 28 at 1428 Spring Lane, Apt. 3, said Elizabeth Watts, Clearwater's public safety spokeswoman.
Miles and three other suspects first robbed two people at gunpoint in the parking lot at the address, then kicked in the front door of a residence there, Watts said. But someone inside fired at the trio and a gun battle broke out, with more than 25 rounds of ammunition exchanged, Watts said.
No one was injured.
Clearwater police are still working to identify the three other suspects.
