(TYLER POLICE DEPARTMENT) - On Friday, October 19, 2012 around 2:00 a.m., Tyler Police responded Quail Creek Apartments, located at 4901 Kinsey, on a 911 call of an Auto Burglary that just occurred.
A female victim reported that she observed a B/M suspect in her vehicle while she was moving items to her vehicle from her apartment. The victim yelled at the suspect to get out of her vehicle and he fled on foot. The victim called 911 reporting that her laptop computer had just been stolen.
While officers on the scene were searching for the suspect involved in the auto burglary, a B/M exited an upstairs apartment, number 2021, in the process of stealing items from the apartment while it was occupied by a couple sleeping. The suspect left the stolen goods that he had piled up in the living-room and got out the front door. He then walked by an officer who was not aware he had just broken into the apartment.
Officers located him moments later in the complex after the 911 call was received about the Burglary. The suspect was identified as Jermaine Jerrand Jackson, B/M, 02/19/1992 of Tyler. Jackson fled from police on foot and resisted arrest when officers caught him. Jackson is a Felon and was in possession of a firearm that was previously stolen during the commission of another Burglary in Smith County.
