Center Point Man Arrested For Burglary

CENTER POINT, AL - A 20-year-old Center Point man has been arrested for burglary after a resident came home to find him in her apartment. Just after 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 30, Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies responded to a report of a burglary in progress at an apartment on Park Brook Trail. The adult female victim reported that she had arrived home and heard noises coming from her bathroom. When she went to investigate, she found an unknown man in her apartment. The suspect reportedly fled the apartment on foot and ran to the rear of the complex.

The suspect, 20-year-old Jordan Robinson of Center Point, was eventually located in the rear of the complex and taken into custody after a brief foot chase. A search of the suspect revealed a bag of marijuana in his pocket. Robinson told deputies that he needed a place to “chill” and charge his phone, so he pushed open a window to the apartment and went inside. He turned on the heat and decided to take a nap, but was interrupted when the resident came home.

Robinson was arrested and charged with burglary, attempting to elude, unlawful possession of marijuana and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. He was taken to the Jefferson County Jail, where he posted bond and was released pending court proceedings.
