Two suspects have been arrested in a Jeremy Ranch home invasion that occurred earlier this summer.

Summit County Sheriff Dave Edmunds said in a statement Wednesday that investigators also recovered weapons believed to have been used in the July break-in.

Nicholas Peterson, 21, was booked into Summit County Jail early Monday and remained there Wednesday on an unrelated Idaho arrest warrant pending filing of Utah charges.

The second suspect, a boy, also was taken into custody and was being housed in Salt Lake City. A third boy is expected to be charged "in the near future," Edmunds said.

The arrests stem from a July 15 incident where three males broke into the home in the community outside Park City and robbed two people at gunpoint. The trio was believed to have entered through an upper balcony window.

The victims were forced out of bed and the robbers demanded cash. After binding the couple to chairs with duct tape, the intruders left with a bag filled with money, investigators say.

The couple eventually freed themselves and called 911.

Edmunds said Wednesday that investigators believe Peterson also may have been involved in a 2009 burglary of the same home. Peterson, the sheriff said, had lived in Park City until recently, and was living in the Utah-Idaho border community of Bear Lake at the time of the home invasion.
