A Beaumont man has been charged with two counts of aggravated robbery in connection with a home invasion on Pine Street.

Darrell “DJ” Johnson, 17, was taken to the Jefferson County Jail on Thursday, accused of being one of four armed suspects who took a vehicle and other property from the Pine Street residence late Wednesday.

Police said Johnson and three other suspects invaded a home in the 4300 block of Pine Street around 11 p.m. After police responded to the scene, the victims were taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.

Police said they responded at 9 a.m. Thursday to a call about suspicious activity in a wooded area around the 1900 block of Nora. There, they said, three suspects were attempting to move a vehicle.

With officers’ arrival, the three fled on foot; two were caught and taken to the Beaumont police station. The vehicle was identified as the one taken in the robbery. Other items taken from the Pine Street residence were found in the home of a suspect.

Additional arrests were expected, police said.
