Augusta, GA—Richmond County Sheriff’s Office investigators have arrested the person responsible for the September 9th home invasion that occurred on Ridgewood Drive, in Augusta.
Investigators say, on September 9th, Michael Chad Gribanow, 26, forced his way into the home of an elderly female and held her at gunpoint, demanding money and prescription medication.
On September the 18th, Investigators arrested 26-year-old Gribanow, of Augusta, and charged him with one count of Burglary, one count of Armed Robbery, and one count of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
While investigating the home invasion, investigators were able to link Gribanow to an addition burglary that occurred on Sycomor Drive, in Augusta, on August 26th, 2009 where jewelry was reported taken. Gribanow has also been charged with one count of burglary in that case.
Gribanow is currently being held at the Richmond County Jail.

As much as crimes like this make me sick, I have to say something about the person who’s alleged to have done this. I’ve known Chad Gribanow for years and the Chad I know wouldn’t have done something like this… I trusted him enough to let him stay in my home with my family just 2 short months ago. He couldn’t have done something like this unless he were pushed into it… and he couldn’t have done it alone.
My thoughts and prayers are with the victim, but they’re also with Chad and his family right now. I hope that he gets the help he needs. If he wasn’t alone in this or if someone pushed him into it, then they deserve to sit in jail right beside him…
A couple of weeks ago I fell asleep on the sofa while watching TV. The sofa is about 5’ from the front door. About 2 a.m. I awoke to my dog barking because someone was beating on my front door, trying to get in with all their might.
I have to admit, I was scared to death but also comforted by the fact that I knew they couldn’t get in as I have my doors protected with a Door Security Pro Door Security Guard. Definitely a very frightening experience and a real wake-up call as to how scary thing can get. You can find out more about the Door Security Pro online at http://www.DoorSecurityPro.com
