A 20-year-old Gaffney man accused of participating in an October 2007 home invasion on North Limestone Street had his bond set Friday at $100,000.

Joseph Wilson is one of four people accused in the incident. He is charged with first degree burglary and armed robbery, as is 18-year-old Gerald Mullinax Jr.

Mullinax is being held at the Cherokee County Detention Center in lieu of $100,000 bond.

Wilson's bond was set Friday during a hearing before Circuit Court Judge Roger Couch.

Wilson allegedly admitted he was in the car as the group drove to the home but claims he did not enter the home.

The victim identified Wilson in court Friday as one of the two men who entered his home. "Mr. Wilson shoved a pistol to my head and told me he was going to kill me and tied me up," the victim told Judge Couch.

The incident was investigated by the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office.
