Two Orchard Mesa men were arrested early Monday morning on suspicion of burglary and assault.
Matthias Martin Brehm, 20, and Malachi Louis Brehm, 22, both of 2841 Morningside Court, are suspected of entering into a home in the 300 block of Hill Avenue early Sunday and assaulting a man with a baseball bat or a pipe.
