Two young Grants Pass residents are in custody in connection with a home invasion case, and the 82-year-old victim continues to recover.
Arrested were Stephan A. August, 20; and Daniel Z. Harper, 23. The victim is Alan W. Curle, of rural Grants Pass, said Josephine County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO).
August and Harper each are charged with first-degree burglary, theft and robbery, second-degree assault, and fraudulent use of a credit card.
Curle was found by his care-taker after he missed three appointments. He apparently had been beaten unconscious and left at his home for at least two days.

The victim was hospitalized for a time; then transferred to a convalescent home.
