A gunpoint home-invasion robbery in southwest Spokane County early Wednesday led to the arrest of two men.

Mario Casillas, 42, and James T. Harris, 36, are accused of forcing their way into a rental unit at in the 6200 block of South Pendell Lane about 1:15 a.m. and stealing money at gunpoint.

The victim, Nick Wright, told police he was struck in the head and threatened with the gun while the men said he owed them money, but the victim said he'd never met the men.

Police recovered $350, Wright's driver's license and other stolen property after stopping the suspects at North Nevada Street and East Garland Avenue. Their car had grass stuck in it that was consistent with vehicle marks left on the grass outside the victim's flat, according to court documents.

Harris and Casillas were booked into Spokane County Jail for first-degree robbery and first-degree burglary.

Casillas has had a felony warrant out for his arrest since March because he didn't submit a DNA sample after a felony protection-order violation conviction.
