A St. Joseph man has been charged after a series of home invasions around town earlier this week that prompted police responses.

20-year-old Jabin Bullock is charged in Buchanan County with a felony for first-degree burglary.

According to court documents, on Monday at a home in St. Joseph two men forced entry into a home and stole items after displaying a firearm to the victim.

“The victim identified this defendant from a photo lineup as being one of the two males involved,” said Det. Doug Howard with the St. Joseph Police Department. “A search warrant was executed in St. Joseph, MO where items stolen during the robbery were recovered.”

Howard said Bullock has prior arrests for robbery and assault.

Since Sunday night, authorities have said there have been four home invasions and a fifth situation that took place Monday evening at a home on S 16th where Bullock was allegedly taken into custody.  Capt. Jeff Wilson has previously told us the home invasions are not believed to be random at this time.

Police also arrested a juvenile Tuesday afternoon at a home in the 900 block of Corby in connection with the recent events.  As of 10 a.m. Wednesday morning the Juvenile Office said a case has not been submitted.  Also, Wednesday morning Capt. Wilson said a third person of interest is still being sought.  He said police may send out additional details later in the day.

Bullock is being held without bail.  An arraignment is set for Friday.
