Home Intruder in Cottage Grove

Be on the lookout. 

A Cottage Grove couple was transported to a local hospital Saturday afternoon with head injuries after they were pistol-whipped by an intruder in an apartment located above Tricia’s Country Corners.

Dane County Sheriff’s Office deputies found the couple after they responded to a report of a home invasion at 3737 County AB. Deputies received information of a lone gunman entering the apartment located above the bar and assaulting two residents.

A 63-year-old man and a 55-year-old female were treated for significant but non-life-threatening head injuries, according to the sheriff’s report.

The suspect is described as a white male, 5-foot-6 to 6 feet tall, clean-shaven with a stocky build. He was dressed in black clothing and may have had on a hooded sweatshirt.
