NAVASOTA ARMED ROBBERY SUSPECT SENTENCED TO 25 YEARS
(Grimes Co. Jail)
The suspect in an armed robbery in March in Navasota has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.
19-year-old Donquarius Jessie was sentenced on Monday in connection to the incident on March 4th on Sauls Street.
According to the Grimes County District Attorney’s Office, Jessie met with the victim after contacting her through Facebook Marketplace about a dirt bike she was selling.
After the two met and she showed Jessie the bike, prosecutors say he pulled out a .45 caliber pistol and told her to leave the area before firing off multiple rounds as she fled in her truck.
At the time of the offense, Jessie was out of custody on bond for Aggravated Assault, stemming from a shooting on Christmas Eve in 2019.
Jessie pleaded guilty to the charges of Aggravated Robbery and Aggravated Assault before 12th District Judge David Moorman. He was sentenced to 25 years for the Aggravated Robbery charge and 20 years for Aggravated Assault. The sentences will run concurrently.
Jessie is currently in the Grimes County Jail awaiting transfer to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
