A second man has been arrested in connection with an alleged Dec. 10 home invasion in which police say a man paralyzed from the neck down was bear sprayed.
John Robert Hawkins, 54, three charges of assault with a weapon, and one count each of robbery, break and enter, mischief under $5,000, theft under $5,000 and disguising one's face with intent to commit an offence.
Hawkins remains in custody as does Joel Milton Clark, 26.
The two, and one other police are still looking for, are alleged to have staged a home invasion, forcibly entering a Chief Lake Road home on Dec. 10, just before 10 p.m., and bear spraying its three occupants, a 51-year-old quadriplegic man among them.
Clark was arrested just just four days after he had been sentenced to a day in jail and one year probation for his role in an assault and robbery at a Salmon Valley home this summer.
His twin brother, Kirk Arthur Clark was sentenced to two years less a day and two years probation for robbery and to one day in jail for assault with a weapon.
Both had remained in custody since the July 24 incident that involved an attempt to steal a metal gate from the driveway of a Wright Creek Road home using a skid steer tractor.
One of the residents was struck in the head with an object and he and another man were chased by one of the suspects wielding an axe, police said at the time.
