Intruders hunting valuables, police say

They thought they were in for big money. Instead, one landed in a hospital with gunshot wounds to the stomach and another was arrested after more than a day on the lam.

That’s what a Spokane police detective investigating a home invasion robbery in southeast Spokane believes happened when two men barged into a home occupied by three college students early Monday.

In 2002, Butler was sentenced to more than eight years in prison for a bank robbery that resulted in federal charges against a California gang member who worked with Butler and another man, according to previously public reports.

It’s unclear how long Butler was in prison in connection with the bank robbery. But records show he was sentenced in Kootenai County in early March to 10 days in jail or 32 hours in a county work program on one count of frequenting a home where a controlled substance is used.

Taylor, the other suspect, has criminal convictions dating back to 1996 in Pierce County, including charges of second-degree theft, third-degree assault, attempting to elude, and several drug charges. He served 10 days in jail in December after pleading guilty to escape from community custody, records show.
