3 – Home invasion suspect caught after more than 1 1/2 years

After evading capture for more than a year and a half, a man charged with committing a home invasion robbery on July 20, 2021, has been arrested by Jasper Police. The suspect, identified as 27-year-old Alexander Jevonte Brooks of Jasper, was captured on Saturday. Police Chief Gerald Hall revealed that the arrest was made following an extensive search.

The victim, who reported the crime to the police, alleged that the incident took place in her apartment at Sweetbriar Apartments on FM 2800. She claimed that Brooks was sitting outside her apartment door when she returned from work and forcibly entered her home after she refused him entry. Brooks proceeded to assault her by hitting her in the face, and when she attempted to defend herself with a kitchen knife, he began choking her until she almost passed out. However, she fought back by biting his finger and hitting him with the knife handle, which eventually stopped the assault. Before leaving, Brooks took her cell phone and threw a flower pot, causing damage to her apartment window.

Alexander Jevonte Brooks appeared in court, where he was arraigned on a 2nd degree felony robbery charge by Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace Gina Cleveland. His bond was set at $50,000.00.
