On September 8, at approximately 3 a.m., Fairfield police responded to a report of a burglary on Flamingo Drive. The homeowner, who was not present at the time, observed a man entering through the doggy door via surveillance footage and promptly alerted the authorities. Upon arrival, officers discovered items belonging to the victim placed on the porch, indicating a recent theft. They heard movement inside the house, leading to the suspect's hasty exit into a neighboring yard. The suspect, identified as James Jackson, attempted to evade capture by hiding behind a tree. However, officers had already established a perimeter around the area, which facilitated his swift apprehension. At the time of his arrest, Jackson was found in possession of stolen property from the residence, confirming his involvement in the burglary. Further investigation revealed that Jackson was on post-release community supervision for a previous burglary offense, highlighting a pattern of criminal behavior. This incident raises concerns about the effectiveness of community supervision in preventing repeat offenses. Following his arrest, Jackson was booked into Solano County Jail, where he awaits further legal proceedings. The case underscores the ongoing challenges law enforcement faces in addressing property crimes and the importance of community vigilance in reporting suspicious activities.
