A brutal home invasion in Edgewood, Maryland, has landed one of the perpetrators behind bars for ten years.
U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett sentenced Jaquan Day, age 21, to 10 years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, on May 27, 2021, for robbing an individual engaged in drug trafficking of controlled substances.
The incident occurred on April 25, 2019, when Day and at least six others conspired to rob a drug trafficker. The group assaulted three victims, including a pregnant woman, a minor male, and an adult male, at a nearby apartment complex.
According to the plea agreement, Day and his co-conspirators knocked on the door, forced entry into the unit, and took U.S. currency and a prescription of suboxone. Day aimed a firearm at an eight-month pregnant female and kicked her in the abdomen when she attempted to help the minor male. A third co-conspirator repeatedly asked, “Where’s the money at?”
After the intruders fled, the pregnant woman was treated at a nearby hospital and underwent an emergency caesarian section to deliver her child due to the injuries she sustained during the assault.
Day admitted to the robbery, stating it was part of an unlawful agreement to commit robbery of an individual trafficking marijuana. He also admitted that the objective of the robbery was to obtain marijuana, and the intruders ultimately took suboxone and the victim’s marijuana trafficking proceeds by force.
Co-defendant Tyqwell Booker, age 24, has pleaded guilty to the same offense and is expected to receive a sentence between 60 and 96 months at his sentencing in September 2021. Antoine Rich, age 24, and Jesse Walton Jr., age 49, have been sentenced to 72 months and 30 months in federal prison, respectively.
