On June 16, detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department arrested a suspect in connection with three armed robberies.
Joshua Jamison, a 35-year-old resident of Southeast DC, allegedly robbed an establishment and stole a carjacking using a weapon. The crimes occurred in Northeast, DC on June 4 and 5.
The first incident occurred at approximately 4:42 p.m.on the 4800 block of Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue, NE. The second occurred later that evening at about 11 p.m. on the 4000 block of Minnesota Avenue, NE.
During both of these incidents, the suspect brandished a handgun, demanding money from the register at the establishment. Both times the victim complied and the suspect fled the scene.
The third incident occurred at around 2:15 p.m. the following day on the 4200 block of Minnesota Avenue, NE. The suspect stole a victim’s vehicle and fled the scene in it.
Jamison was released on March 27 of this year after serving time in prison for attempted robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm. As a part of that sentence, Jamison also had to complete three years of supervised release.
Jamison has been charged with one charge of fugitive from justice, to which he has pleaded not guilty. His next court hearing is scheduled for Sept. 17.
