The investigation revealed that a suspect approached a man working at home and allegedly displayed what appeared to be a handgun and demanded the victim’s vehicle.

Police stated that as the victim walked the suspect to the vehicle, he retrieved a shotgun and pointed it at the suspect.

Jackson was arraigned on charges of attempted robbery, terroristic threats, criminal mischief, and trespass with $50,000 bail.
