Smithville residents Sonny Roman Smith, 25, and Jessica Anne Jenkins, 28, were arrested Friday, each charged with two counts of aggravated burglary.
According to police, the couple went to the first victim’s residence Thursday and walked into her house unwelcomed. The victim then confronted Jenkins and she (Jenkins) allegedly punched the victim in her face and ripped her shirt. Jenkins then made contact with another resident and grabbed his cell phone and slammed it to the ground causing damage to it. When police arrived, the parties had left the scene but the victims were able to identify the couple.
Responding to a burglary call early Friday morning, Smith and Jenkins were observed by police hiding behind a green GMC Sonoma. The homeowner stated that prior to the arrival by police a white male and female – later identified as Smith and Jenkins – were at the back door of the residence attempting to gain entry. The pair were taken into custody without incident and charged.
