Birmingham Home Invasion Suspect Charged

A man suspected in at least one recent home invasion in the city of Birmingham will face a preliminary hearing on multiple felony charges in 48th District Court next week.

Lucious Brinson, 27, is charged with home invasion, possession of burglary tools and possession of drugs, stemming from his April 19 arrest outside a home near downtown. He was released Monday after posting a $25,000 cash bond and is expected back in court next week, record show.

Undercover officers with the Troy Police Department had Brinson under surveillance, and arrested him in the 1100 block of North Old Woodward after witnessing the home invasion crime, a news release stated. Birmingham police officials said he tried to flee, but was boxed in by patrol vehicles that converged on the scene.

Reports said Brinson, of Detroit, stole miscellaneous jewelry, a pillow case, shoes and other items from the residence. Officers also found stolen property and bags of marijuana in Brinson's vehicle.

Brinson's criminal history includes a conviction in 2004 for unarmed robbery, court records show.
