Two men were arrested Tuesday afternoon by the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office following an alleged home invasion in Ironton.

According to Lawrence County Sheriff Jeff Lawless, dispatchers at about 12:50 p.m. received a burglary-in-progress call at a home in the 900 block of County Road 7A.

When deputies arrived, they allegedly found the two men “confronted by the daughter of the homeowner, who is also a neighbor, in the house that was burglarized,” Lawless said.
