This morning around 4:30 a.m., a game room located at 2150 Stillwater, Nederland, Texas was robbed at gunpoint. The male owner advised that 4 black males entered into the game room and demanded cash. They assaulted the owner and stole an undisclosed amount of cash.
The suspects ran to a black 4 door Nissan Versa and fled to Hwy 69. The owner jumped into his vehicle and chased them while on the phone with 911. He told dispatch that they were shooting at him. An off-duty Sheriff’s Deputy working an extra job was able to quickly locate them and chased the suspect vehicle to 1280 Saxe. The vehicle wrecked on Saxe and the suspects fled on foot. The Deputy arrested one of the suspects on scene. The other 3 are still at large.
The suspect that is in custody is 19 year old Jamon Brooks of Port Arthur. He was booked in on warrants stemming from 2 Burglaries committed in Port Arthur. Additional charges stemming from this Aggravated Robbery are pending. The Judge has set “No Bond.” The investigation is on-going. We are attempting to obtain video of the Robbery and will post it if we can access it.
If anyone has information about this crime, who Brooks runs with or who may have been in the vehicle between 12:00 am and 4:30 a.m., call Crime Stoppers at 409-833-TIPS (8477). You will not be asked your name and you could be eligible for a cash reward.
