Man accused of trashing optometrist’s office
A Montgomery County grand jury has indicted a 28-year-old man on felony vandalism and breaking and entering for the April 8 ransacking of an optometrist office.
Cost of the damage was expected to be over $200,000, and Dr. William Martin’s office was closed for nearly three weeks to repair the damage.
When Dayton police entered an optometrist’s office in the 1200 block of South Patterson Boulevard, they found it completely ransacked with files, office furniture, eye glasses and equipment strewn throughout the office.
Debris littered the hallway and on the lawn outside a broken window of the Wright Health Building.
When officers arrived, Alexander Jackson, 28, was in handcuffs, being held by two private security guards. Jackson, wearing only a pair of jeans and white socks, was bleeding from a gash on his hand and another on the crown of his head. Jackson was unable to tell officers how or when he was injured.
Jackson is a Tier III registered sex offender, meaning he has been designated by the state as violent sexual predator.
The security guards said they discovered the broken window shortly after 6 a.m. and heard a fire alarm going off. They searched building, finding Jackson hiding in a fourth-floor women’s restroom.
Police searched the building, finding no one else. It appeared someone entered the building through the broken window into Martin’s office, which “had been ransacked almost completely,” according to the police report. In addition to the ransacking, someone had also flooded the doctor’s office, and blood was smeared on the walls.. On the unoccupied fourth floor, police found holes had been punched in the walls. They also found a pair of shoes, splattered with blood.
