HARRISBURG, Ill.—An incident occurring on Barnett Street in Harrisburg Sunday has brought about a serious charge against a local crim.
The incident occurred June 29 when Cameron Jones, 32, of Harrisburg, was alleged to have broken into an apartment of a girl on Barnett Street, ostensibly holding her at knifepoint in order to take pills from her that he knew her to have.
She was able to get police involved and they responded, taking Jones into custody. He was charged today with Home Invasion while armed with a Dangerous Weapon, a Class X felony.
Jones has a little bit of a history in Saline County, but nothing like a Class X felony, so this is quite the jump for him.
We’ve learned that he’s being held on a $5,000 cash bond; no court date has been set for him as yet. More as we get it; mark your RSS feeds to keep up with happenings here on what’s going on in the region with stuff like this.
