Detroit-area man accused of entering victim's home and assaulting him

DEARBORN, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) – Dearborn police arrested a 29-year-old man accused of entering a home and attacking the homeowner over the weekend.

According to police, Kwame Lewis Jones of Dearborn was arrested Saturday after attacking the victim. He is charged with first-degree trespassing, assault with intent to cause bodily harm less than murder, and assault and battery.

Police were called to the 22000 block of Cleveland Street around 12:15 p.m. for a report of a home invasion. Jones allegedly paced outside the home before going inside, confronting the homeowner and putting his hands around his neck.

The homeowner was able to escape with minor injuries. Witnesses reported seeing Jones running away from the house.

An investigation revealed he had assaulted another person earlier that day while they were filling up a tire.

Jones was arraigned Monday and given a $50,000 cash bond with a GPS tether.

A probable cause conference is scheduled for November 13th.

“Acts of violence and invasion of personal property will not be tolerated in our city. “I am grateful for the community’s vigilance and support, which directly helped the Dearborn Police Department bring this dangerous individual to justice,” said Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin.
