Woman Gets Three Years For Bratt Home Invasion Robbery

October 29, 2012

A 31-year old woman was sentenced to three years in prison for a home invasion robbery at her mother’s home in Bratt.

Jacqueline Bernice Morris, who told authorities that she was homeless, was found guilty of felony home invasion robbery and sentenced by Judge Jan Shackelford to 36.3 months in prison, with credit for 87 days served.

Morris was accused of entering her mother’s mobile home on C.W. Caraway Road, just north of Highway 4 near Northview High School on April 28 and snatching a bottle of about 90 Xanax out of her mother’s shirt.

Investigators said the victim was sitting in her living room watching television when Morris, her daughter, entered through a storm door. Morris grabbed her mother by the arms to restrain her, reached into the pocket of her shirt, grabbed the bottle of Xanax and ran away.

A nearby witness attempted to catch Morris, even giving chase for a brief distance along Highway 4 after Morris jumped into her Saturn and sped away.

The day prior to the incident, Morris had been trespass warned by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office to stay away from the residence as she retrieved her personal belongings from her mother’s trailer.

The mother was not seriously injured in the incident.

    Actually, if you have a Saturn, you aren’t homeless. Your home is simply small and with too many windows.

    I knew this girl in highschool and she always had an “attitude” back then. I hope that she can get some help and get off the drugs and that she can make peace with God about laying hands on her mother. They say you have to hit rock bottom to build yourself back up, so I have to wonder – is physically restraining your mother so that you can steal her medications rock bottom? I pray it is.
