	Suspect Sought In Madison County Home InvasionPolice are investigating after a home invasion robbery at a Madison County home early Friday morning. The incident happened at about 3 a.m. at a home on Barnes Mill Road in Richmond. The couple living in the home heard a crash in the house, and then were confronted by a man with a gun who demanded money. The couple then somehow distracted the suspect, and escaped through a window. A guest staying in the home, Akil Abdullah, heard the commotion, came out of a room of the home and was confronted by the suspect, who again demanded money. said he didn't have any, and was shot in the knee by the suspect, who then fled. Abdullah was located an hour later at Country Hearth Inn. So far, it is unclear as to why he went there after being shot. Police say the suspect was a black man with bandanna over his face.
	"Granddad Bandit" Pleads Not GuiltyThe bank robbery suspect the FBI nicknamed the "Granddad Bandit" pleaded not guilty in his first federal court appearance in Virginia. A detention hearing was held Friday morning for 52-year-old Michael Francis Mara in Richmond, followed by his arraignment before a different judge in the same courthouse. Elizabeth Slater Wilson, the federal public defender representing the Baton Rouge, La., man, declined to say Thursday what she expects to happen at the hearings. Mara is suspected in 25 bank robberies in 13 states, including a robbery at the PNC Bank on Woodhill Drive in Lexington. The FBI says the "Granddad Bandit" nickname was devised to help law enforcement and the public easily identify the suspect, whose picture was posted on billboards across the country. Mara was arrested last month.Associated Press Wire Services Contributed To This Story
