CORBIN, Ky. (WATE) - Authorities are looking for a man identified as a suspect in a home invasion in Corbin early Monday morning.

Mickella Scott, 21, called 911 at 5:42 a.m. saying two men kicked in the back door at her home on Dantley Drive. One of the men had a pistol, grabbed her by the throat and told her not to scream or he would shoot her.

The suspects went into the bedroom and confronted her boyfriend, Nicholas Burton, 31.

The sheriff's office says one suspect hit Burton with the pistol butt, then put the gun to his head and demanded money. The other suspect used a stun gun on Burton's side.

That's when Scott got away and call 911.

Scott identified one of the suspects as Dustin Skinner, 21, but she said the other suspect wore a ski mask.

The sheriff's office has warrants for Skinner on charges of robbery first degree and wanton endangerment first degree.

Skinner is described as around 5'10" and 163 pounds with hazel eyes and brown hair.

Anyone with information about Skinner should call the sheriff's office at 606-549-6006 or 606-546-6017.
