On October 23rd, 2016, at 11:13 a.m. Dubuque Police responded to a home on Dubuque’s west side and met with the female resident who reported a man unknown to her entered her home without authorization. The male fled when she called for her husband.
As the investigation progressed, a suspect was developed and a photo line-up was presented to the female. She positively identified one of the males in the line-up, identified as Jacob D. Harrison, 21, of 1550 Butterfield Drive #114, Dubuque. The investigation further revealed Harrison, in his white Ford sedan, followed the female home from a local fitness establishment. It was also verified he was on pretrial release following an arrest on September 2nd, 2015, for Burglary 2nd Degree, False Imprisonment, Assault While Displaying a Dangerous Weapon, and Eluding, all pertaining to another incident at a home on Dubuque’s far west side. Harrison had been released on a reduced bond and was awaiting trial on the above charges.
Harrison pretrial release has since been revoked and he is currently incarcerated in the Dubuque County Jail following his arrest on October 27th. He is charged with Trespass and his current bond is $200,000. The investigation remains active.
As with any criminal case, the charges filed are allegations and any suspects are presumed innocent until convicted in a court of law.
