ARLINGTON — The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is investigating a home invasion robbery that occurred early Saturday morning.

Police responded to a house on the block of 8400 Spicewood Dr. around 12:33 a.m. after receiving a 911 call that an armed and masked suspect had entered the home and attempted robbing occupants of the residence at gunpoint.

Police say the house was occupied by three people at the time of the robbery. The suspect was armed with a handgun and knives, according to JSO.

The suspect was described as being a young black male wearing black, red, orange, gold, and a white bandanna with eye holes cut out.

Two victims were struck in the head by the butt of the firearm while the third retrieved a firearm of his own and began an altercation with the suspect.

Police say the homeowner recognized one of the suspects when his mask came off during the robbery. The homeowner told police the suspect had been living across the street until he was evicted last month.

Police say the suspect ran from the house, jumped a fence, and ran through a ditch behind the houses. The homeowner reportedly chased the suspect, caught him, and returned him back to the house.

The suspect was identified as Joel Harris, 24. The Homeowner who wishes to remain anonymous is a former Corrections Officer who placed Harris in handcuffs and held him at gunpoint until police arrived.

Harris is being held at the Jacksonville Pre-trial Detention Facility on charges of Felony home invasion robbery, aggravated assault with a firearm, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.  Other charges are pending according to JSO Sergeant Steve Millett.

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
