Howard Harmon has finally been charged in the slaying of 19-year-old Sabrina
Jones. An associate of Harmon's had fingered him in the May 2010 homicide, which led Jackson County prosecutors today to file charges of first-degree murder, first-degree robbery and two counts of armed criminal action.
Harmon, 33, allegedly busted into an East Side home in the early hours of May 18. Harmon and three other armed men allegedly demanded drugs and money. Harmon was allegedly armed with a shotgun. The other three men had
handguns. The situation was about to turn deadly.
A witness told police that one of the men went to a bedroom and
dragged Jones, who was naked, out of bed, forcing her to sit on the
living-room
floor while Harmon allegedly slapped her around while commenting on how
good-looking she was.
The men then forced the witness to lie on the dining-room floor. Harmon
allegedly
told the man that he'd let him live if he told him where the "stuff"
was. The man told Harmon, and once the items were found, two of the
suspects left the house. Harmon stood over Jones with his shotgun while
another suspect guarded the man. The man was then shot four times,
hitting him in the face, both hands and the back of the head.
Jones was shot and killed during a robbery.
Before the male shooting victim lost consciousness, he told police thatSabrina
he heard Harmon fire
the shotgun. When the male victim came to, he saw Jones lying dead on
the floor.
The male shooting victim told police that Harmon took two handguns from
him, including one with a broken handle.
On May 20, Harmon was arrested during a car check. Authorities allegedly
found a large bag containing 88.5 grams of a "white rocky substance"
inside the front pocket of a pair of gym shorts. The substance was
weighed again later and found to be 72.47 grams of cocaine in base form.
Authorities also found a gun with a broken handle under the seat of the
car.
In January, Thailand
Thomas was
arrested after
allegedly leading police on a chase in Cass County. Thomas told police that he took part in the May robbery and admitted
shooting a man, who survived. He was charged
with second-degree murder, first-degree
assault and
two counts of armed criminal action in the robbery turned killing.

The B.A. in Criminal Justice provides a baseline that I think helps anyone going into law enforcement develop the much-needed critical thinking skills. search for "United Forensic College". Today, a degree is pretty much required if you want to move into supervision and management.
