LOUISVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A woman shoved and robbed in her own home thinks her step-son stole her prescription medicine.
Blount County Sheriff's Office responded to a home invasion call on Mentor Road in Louisville Monday night close to 6:30.
The woman who lives there, Rebekah Smith, says two men walked in with ski masks on.
One of the white males pushed her down on her couch and pulled out a stun gun. The other said he had a gun in his pocket, but never showed it.
The man with the stun gun knew several details about Smith - including her name, medical history, when she filled her prescriptions, and when she gets her disability checks.
He also knew the name of her bulldog and used that to keep him from barking.
Smith says he told her to get two zip lock bags and fill them up with her prescription pills.
She told police the man could be her step son, Tony Light. Smith says he has called her the past couple days asking when she was going to be home and when she was leaving. She says he normally never calls her.
An ambulance took Smith to Blount County Memorial Hospital to be checked out. There were concerns about her feeding tube.
