A white man, 5 feet 10 inches tall, with short, dark hair, weighing between 250 and 285 pounds, between 35 and 45-years-old, knocked on the door of the house. When the home occupants answered, the man displayed a gun and forced the two into the interior section of the house, said Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.
