Two more people were charged this week in connection with a daylight break-in and attack at a North Huntingdon home.

Quaise M. Rhodes-Wilson, 21, of Wilkinsburg, and Martell Crosby, 25, of Jeannette, are charged with burglary, aggravated assault, terroristic threats and related offenses. Rhodes-Wilson is being held in the Westmoreland County Prison on $50,000 bail.

Crosby has not been arrested.

Police accuse the pair of being part of a group of five suspects that assaulted two people Aug. 8 inside a California Lane home in Strawpump Mobile Home Park. Investigators were called there just before 2 p.m. and a man and woman reported that five people had broken in and threatened and attacked them.

Crosby, Rhodes-Wilson and Jeremy Ryan Bogle, 31, of Grapeville, punched the man and stabbed him in the stomach while two female suspects attacked the woman, according to court papers. The man told police Rhodes-Wilson held a gun to his head and the suspects threatened him for purported cooperation with police.

He was hospitalized for treatment of the stab wound at AHN Forbes Hospital in Monroeville, police said.

Arianna Renee Matrone, 19, of Grapeville, and Alexandra Nicole Legnine, 22, of Tarentum, are accused of punching the woman and threatening her. The group allegedly used pieces of concrete the break the windows of the woman’s car before fleeing.

Police said in court papers that there was heavy damage to the front door of the mobile home and the woman had a black eye and swollen face. Rhodes-Wilson did not have an attorney listed in online court records. His preliminary hearing is set for Sept. 23.

Matrone and Bogle were arrested last month on similar charges. They are both free on bail, according to online court records. An arrest warrant has been issued for Legnine.
