Officers in the Eighth District have arrested Jaeson Krauss (DOB: 06-16-1998) for three counts of armed robbery, including two that occurred in the First District.
Krauss was apprehended on Tuesday, June 12, 2018, after he robbed two victims in the French Quarter late Sunday night. The victims were walking onto Dumaine Street when they were approached from behind by the suspect, who raised a weapon and pointed it at the victims’ head and demanded their property. The victims complied and the suspect fled the scene.
