The victim notified the property manager upon discovering a drawer open in a bedroom. The building manager and appliance movers chased Jackson as he attempted to escape and detained him until police arrived.

Jackson will be sentenced as a second-degree felony offender on Oct. 4 at 9:30 a.m. and faces a maximum of seven years in prison. He continues to be held without bail.
