CLEARLAKE – Police have arrested a suspect believed to be involved in a home invasion robbery that took place in the city Wednesday night.

As Lake County News first reported Thursday afternoon, Clearlake Police have been investigating a home invasion robbery that took place on 22nd Avenue at just after 11 p.m. Wednesday.

Lt. Mike Hermann of Clearlake Police reported that police arrested 29-year-old Judlin Jean-Louis at around 3:30 p.m. Thursday after serving a search warrant at his residence, located at 15990 43rd Ave.

Hermann said that Jean-Louis had been identified as one of three males that committed the robbery.

Two of the three suspects also were armed with handguns during the incident, said Hermann.

While they were at the home, Hermann said they bound two victims with duct tape and pistol whipped one of them in the head before fleeing in a vehicle with a quarter-pound of marijuana and several other unspecified personal items.

Hermann said Jean-Louis was eventually identified through a photo lineup and was found to be in possession of several stolen items from the victim's residence when the warrant was served.

According to the victims, they knew Jean-Louis and identified him as having been with the two other male adults who have not yet been identified, Hermann reported.

The other two suspects are described as black male adults, possibly in their early 20s, according to Hermann.

One of the suspects was described as being approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall and 150 pounds, wearing a striped shirt and baggy pants, said Hermann. The victims described the suspect as having a "jerry curls" hairdo.

The second suspect also was approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall and 150 pounds, with a light mustache and gray hat, said Hermann.

Police think there may also have been a fourth subject who waited outside in a white SUV-type vehicle. Hermann said this subject may have been seen at a later time with the vehicle and has been described as a black male adult, approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall and 160 pounds, with an earring in his left ear.

Hermann said that during an interview with police Jean-Louis admitted some involvement in the robbery.

Jean-Louis, a construction worker born in Montreal, Canada, was transported to the Lake County Jail and booked for armed robbery, burglary, false imprisonment, home invasion robbery and assault with a deadly weapon, Hermann reported.

Booking records showed no bond amount, and Jean-Louis remained in custody Thursday night.

The investigation is continuing, Hermann said, and detectives are working on identifying the other suspects involved in this case.

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Detective Sgt. Tom Clements at 707-994-8251.
