IU Police arrested 18-year-old Hayford Gyampoh Jr. and 19-year-old Rickie Hollenback II Monday afternoon on charges of residential entry, robbery, battery and criminal confinement. Both are being held in the Monroe County Jail on a $50,500 cash bond.

Police say at 4:44 a.m. Sunday, an 18-year-old student reported he heard a knock at his door and when he answered the door three men forced their way inside and attacked him.
