Man Charged with Residential Burglary, Assault, Attempted Vehicle Break-in

A Virginia man was arrested Sunday and charged with burglarizing a Glenmont home and assaulting the resident inside.

According to a police report, at approximately 8:35 a.m., Montgomery County Police officers responded to a burglary in progress in the 2200 block of Greenery Lane. Emergency personnel found a woman inside with head trauma. She was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Andrew Jeon, 28, was arrested for the attack after a description matching Jeon’s was given to police by multiple witnesses.

Investigators said an unknown man had entered the victim’s home and assaulted her before fleeing without taking anything. According to police, a neighbor said he was approached by the suspect outside who then announced he had killed a woman, before fleeing—the neighbor also noted to police that there was blood on the man’s hands. Additional witnesses gave officers a description of the suspect.
