A Platte City teenager charged as an adult was bound over for trial in Buchanan County court Tuesday on charges stemming from a series of home invasions in August in St. Joe.

As we reported earlier, Te’Avion Hawkins was charged last week with felony first-degree burglary. Hawkins was certified as an adult Friday and charges were filed after the certification order was issued by Judge Patrick Robb.

According to court documents, on August 15th, officers with the St. Joseph Police Department responded to a home in St. Joseph after two men allegedly forced their way in and stole items after displaying a firearm to the victim.

“The victim stated she knew the male who knocked on the door as Te’Avion (T-Man) Hawkins,” Det. Doug Howard said in court documents. “Other co-defendants in this case also stated Te’Avion Hawkins was with them at the time of the burglary.”

Hawkins waived his right to a preliminary hearing in the case and was bound over for trial. Associate Judge Rebecca Spenser scheduled Circuit Court arraignment January 26 at 8:30 a.m.

Four people were arrested in the investigation. Jabin Bullock pleaded guilty and is scheduled for sentencing this week. Another adult is being sought by police, and was identified as Gregory Allen Hayes.  Court records do not reflect an arrest.  A 15-year-old was charged and is being adjudicated as a juvenile.
