Armed burglary ends in arrest
Jacksonville police arrested a man after an armed burglary late Wednesday, according to an arrest report.
One of at least three victims told officers arriving at the First Street residence just before 9:30 p.m. that Ivan Crawford, 32, of Jacksonville, had entered the home with a revolver and had threatened the victims, who left the area to get to safety.
A victim returned to the scene, where Crawford began headbutting him and tried to force the victim to drive Crawford to where one of the other victims had fled to.
Officers set up a perimeter around the house and Crawford eventually complied with police commands, with officers taking a .22 caliber revolver from his waistband.
Crawford is charged with aggravated residential burglary and first-degree terroristic threatening, both felonies, and misdemeanor counts of third-degree battery and theft of property.
