Nashville Pair Gets 15 Years In Home Invasion
Two men who busted into a Trousdale Drive home in 2015 and forced people inside to withdraw money from an ATM will spend 15 years in prison.
NASHVILLE, TN -- Two men who pleaded guilty to a 2015 home invasion in South Nashville will spend the next 15 years in prison.
Robert Corder and Oscar Burnett-Patton pleaded guilty to aggravated kidnapping in the September 2015 Trousdale Drive home invasion. The pair busted into the home, held the occupants - a 51-year-old woman, her 72-year-old mother, 26-year-old daughter and her 26-year-old boyfriend - at gunpoint and ransacked the house before taking the residents to a nearby ATM and forcing them to withdraw money.
Investigators say the men left the family inside their cars when they fled, but the 26-year-old woman memorized the plate numbers, which helped police track down the perpetrators.
