MOULTRIE, Ga. — A resident was struck by an intruder during a home invasion Monday morning.

Selvin Oliva, 200 block Circle Road, was awakened by a loud noise just before 2 a.m. Monday. When he went to investigate, he saw someone standing in his dining room.

Oliva asked the person what he wanted. Without saying anything, the man hit Oliva in the forehead with an unknown object then ran out of the house.

The responding deputy found the rear door of the house had been forced open.

Oliva described the man as 5-feet-8 to 5-feet-10-inches tall with a slim to medium build. The man was wearing a dark gray long-sleeve shirt, dark jeans, white gloves and a ski mask. Because he was covered up the way he was, Oliva couldn’t tell what race he might have been.
