Leer en espa\u00f1ol<\/a><\/p>\nAuthorities said Jamarcus Malcolm Brooks was arrested Thursday by the North Miami Police Department. Jail records show he is facing one count each of home invasion robbery with a firearm and possession of cocaine with intent to sell. <\/p>\n
According to Brooks\u2019 arrest report, the robbery occurred around 3:30 a.m. Thursday at an apartment in the 800 block of Northeast 121st Street.<\/p>\n
Police said the victim, who is \u201cparalyzed from the waist down and requires the assistance of a motorized scooter to get around,\u201d was inside the apartment with another person when the armed robbery began.<\/p>\n
According to the report, as the second person was leaving the apartment, an armed man rushed through the open door, pointed a black handgun and demanded, \u201cGive me the money and the weed or I shoot you and that white b—-.\u201d<\/p>\n
The second victim ran from the apartment and called 911, investigators said.<\/p>\n
The report states the gunman then pushed the victim from his motorized scooter, tied his hands behind his back with a white USB charging cable and dragged him into a bedroom before ransacking the room. <\/p>\n
Police said the robber stole a black bank bag containing about $2,000 before fleeing through the rear door as officers arrived.<\/p>\n
Investigators said officers found a gray Kia K4 partially blocking the roadway outside the apartment. The vehicle was unlocked with the keys inside.<\/p>\n
According to the report, the car\u2019s owner told detectives he had loaned it to Brooks for what Brooks described as an \u201cemergency.\u201d <\/p>\n
Police said after receiving permission to search the vehicle, they found a satchel containing narcotics and a wallet with Brooks\u2019 identification, including credit cards and a Social Security card.<\/p>\n
Police later located Brooks at his probation office in Miami Gardens and took him into custody without incident, according to the report. <\/p>\n
After waiving his Miranda rights, Brooks admitted he was involved in a plan to rob the victim, the report states. <\/p>\n
Investigators said Brooks told detectives the victim was believed to have large amounts of cash and marijuana and that, because he was paralyzed, he would have been an \u201ceasy lick,\u201d a term Brooks described as meaning an easy robbery.<\/p>\n
According to the report, Brooks claimed he drove another man, identified only by the nickname \u201cGreedy,\u201d who carried out the robbery. <\/p>\n
Brooks also admitted using the Kia left at the scene and said the narcotics and satchel found inside the vehicle belonged to him, police said.<\/p>\n
As of Saturday morning, Brooks was being held at the Metrowest Detention Center, where his bond was listed as \u201cto be set.\u201d <\/p>\n
Police did not reveal Greedy\u2019s age or identity in the report. <\/p>\n
