Police: Teen woman crawls through window, punches relative

Police say a Thebes, Illinois, woman broke into the apartment Thursday of a relative by climbing through a window next to an air conditioner, and once inside, fought the resident when she was asked to leave.

Jackson police arrested Mayrissa N. Brooks, 17, on Thursday. The Cape Girardeau County prosecuting attorney’s office charged Brooks with first-degree burglary and second-degree domestic assault.

Brooks’ bond was set at $15,000 cash or surety.

The resident was sleeping when she heard loud knocking at her apartment door at 122 S. Belleview St., according to a probable-cause statement filed by officer Travis Keller.

The resident saw Brooks crawl through a window that held an installed air conditioner, and she asked her to leave, Keller wrote.

Brooks responded by punching the resident in the mouth, according to the statement.

The assault continued in the kitchen and in the living room, knocking over a lamp, Keller wrote.

The resident said Brooks punched her in the back several times, according to the statement.
