An 18-year-old Macon man was arrested Wednesday morning after allegedly kicking in the front door of a Bibb County commissioner’s home and holding him at gunpoint, authorities said.
Bibb County deputies were dispatched to the west Macon home of Commissioner Virgil Watkins at 8:20 a.m., the sheriff’s office wrote in a news release.
Watkins told police he was home asleep when the suspect, identified as Xavier Matthew Lewis, kicked in his door and started taking items.
The 35-year-old commissioner told the Macon Telegraph he woke up to a masked intruder standing over him with a gun to his face.
“He just kept repeating, ‘Where’s the money? Where’s the money? Give me the money,” Watkins told the newspaper. “I was naked and bare-handed fighting a man with a gun.”
