Court records show Jackson pleaded guilty to one count each of robbery with a deadly weapon and burglary with intent to commit another crime in December 2019.

Jackson was charged over the April 2019 incident.

Queenie told police she heard the doorbell and answered it, expecting it to be a package delivery. Instead, police say a masked suspect, Jackson, forced his way into the home, demanding money and valuables.

Police said Bun B, who was upstairs at the time, retrieved his gun and went to confront the suspect in the garage.
