2 arrested on slew of charges in Knox Co. home invasion

KNOXVILLE (WATE) -- Two men have been arrested on multiple charges for a home invasion in Knox County Sunday evening.

Ferrari Tee Glasper, 22, and Bobby Ray Ladd, Jr., 25, both of Knoxville, are charged with aggravated assault, aggravated robbery, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary and possession of a firearm during a felony.

The charges are for a home invasion Sunday around 5 p.m. at 1305 Oscar Armstrong Road. 

According to the warrant, Lisa Walker, 44, called 911 from the house and left the line open. 

Dispatchers heard one of the suspects say, "Cover up your face and give me all your money." They also heard a gunshot.

Walker’s son, Jermichael Walker, 19, told officers two men forced him and his mother at gunpoint to a back bedroom as they searched for money. 

The sheriff's office said one of the suspects hit both victims in the foreheads with a gun. The other fired a round into the bed.

One of the suspects led Jermichael into the living room where the two struggled over the gun. Four or five shots were fired, but no one was injured.

Knoxville police officers saw the suspects running from the house. One suspect threw down a gun and drugs. Officers also found the victims' cell phones, jewelry and cash.

The Walkers were taken to UT Medical Center for treatment.

The bonds for Glasper and Ladd were set at $200,000 each.

Both have extensive criminal histories including multiple assaults, evading arrest, traffic infractions and possession of a weapon.
