Man sentenced to 2 years for vandalism
A man accused of destroying an optometrist’s office on South Patterson and doing more than $100,000 in damages will spend the next two years in prison.
Alexander Jackson pleaded guilty to felony vandalism Oct. 12 and was sentenced Monday. The judge also required Alexander to pay $25,000 in restitution, according to Greg Flannagan of the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.
When police entered the office of Dr. William Martin at South Patterson and Stewart just after 6 a.m. April 8, they found files, office furniture, eye glasses and equipment strewn throughout the office. Debris littered the hallway and on the lawn outside a broken window of the Wright Health Building.
Private security guards had Jackson — wearing only a pair of jeans and white socks — in handcuffs. He was bleeding from a gash on his hand and another on the crown of his head, and unable to tell officers how or when he was injured.
The security guards said they discovered the broken window shortly after 6 a.m. and heard a fire alarm. They searched building, finding Jackson hiding in a fourth-floor women’s restroom.
Police searched the building, finding no one else. It appeared Jackson entered the building through the broken window into Martin’s office, which “had been ransacked almost completely,” according to the police report. In addition to the ransacking, Jackson also flooded the doctor’s office, and blood was smeared on the walls.. On the unoccupied fourth floor, police found holes punched in the walls. They also found a pair of shoes, splattered with blood.
Martin said it took three weeks to repair the damage and re-open his office.
