Sheriff’s Deputies in Henderson County have arrested a man on charges of Home Invasion, Residential Burglary, and aggravated battery to a senior citizen in Oquawka.
26-year-old Alexander S. Sesher of Burlington, Iowa was arrested this afternoon at 1:20 p.m. a block away after leaving the victim’s residence.
Sheriff Donald Seitz says that Sesher did not know the victim. He entered the home intending to steal money and battered the resident of the home, a senior citizen.
Sesher was transported to the Henderson County Jail. Police have seized his vehicle.
The most serious charge Sesher faces is Class X Home Invasion, for which he could get a 6 to 30-year sentence. Residential burglary has a sentencing range of 4 to 14 years and for aggravated battery to a senior citizen the range is 3 to 7 years.
Sesher is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
