That includes damaging the rear door, windows, television screens, family pictures and chopped up a couch with a machete found in the home.
According to officials, the suspects then robbed a second home of items costing more than $1,000. Inside the house, Partin armed himself with a .22 caliber rifle. He then found another weapon - bow and arrows - shooting at least two arrows at a family dog secured inside a crate.
The dog was secure in the crate and not injured.
