Deputies arrested 20-year-old Jordan Robinson after responding to a report of a burglary in progress just after 1:30 p.m. Monday in the 800 block of 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 fled the apartment on foot and ran to the rear of the complex.
When deputies arrived the victim provided a description of the suspect which was broadcast to other deputies in the area. The suspect was located in the rear of the complex and again fled on foot. He was 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 3rd Degree, Attempting to Elude, Unlawful Possession of Marijuana 2nd Degree, and Unlawful Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He was taken to the Jefferson County Jail where he posted bond and was released pending court proceedings.

Center Point Mayor & council said City of Center Point couldn’t afford a police dept. They will take this young man & all future criminals to their recently purchased 1.5 million dollar Hilldale church & baptise or sprinkle them. I heard newly elected councilman Bobby Scott said he voted to buy the church because it had a basketball court/gym.

live in Centerpoint only because there is no other option at this time. I might also add that I have lived here more than 25 years.Since the powers that be seem to think that there is not sufficient crime in the area to warrant a police force.I have no option but to take my shopping to other safer communities.If the city won’t provide addequite protection then the business in Centerpoint will have to provide it for thier customers. Untill they do that or the city provides it I will continue to shop in other safer communities.I do realze if the merchants have to take on this responsibility thier cost will go up and they will have to charge higher prices.That is ok with me if in return I have a safer shopping expierence in Centerpion. Ok merchants the city won.t do it so it is up to you.
