Court Watching: Jayson Robbins charged with imprisonment, assault in Belleville

Jayson Trey Robbins, 17, was before 34th District Court Judge Tina Brooks Green on Oct. 7 for a probable cause hearing on charges of unlawful imprisonment, assault by strangulation, and aggravated assault in the city of Belleville.
Robbins was out after posting $30,000/10% bond. His retained attorney was Bill Colovas.
His preliminary exam, that will determine if he is bound over to circuit court for trial, was adjourned until 10 a.m. Nov. 9.
Parents of the victim were in the courtroom looking very grim.
Belleville Police Officer Tim Trombly said Robbins went to the school and he needs to know he can’t go there.
A woman stood up in the audience and called out, “He wasn’t at the school.” Judge Green said, “I don’t know who you are. Sit down!”
Judge Green told Robbins there was to be no contact with the victim and, “Do not return to the school.”
Officer Trombly said the school did “trespass” him and, “We do have him on video.”
Judge Green said Robbins claims he wasn’t there. She said to Robbins, “If you show up on video, they’ll pick you up.”
On Tuesday, Police Chief Hal Berriman explained the circumstances of the arrest. He said this was an ex-boyfriend-ex-girlfriend situation where they had broken up and Robbins went to Belleville High School to talk to her. He allegedly said he would drive her to the office and she willingly got into his car, but then he took her to a home in Victoria Commons. Meanwhile, the girl called 911 and Officer Trombly responded. The girl’s phone was still on so dispatch could hear what was happening, Chief Berriman said.
Officer Trombly heard her calling out inside the house and he opened the unlocked door. Chief Berriman said the victim came running out. Robbins’ hands were bloody because he had punched the wall, Chief Berriman said.
Chief Berriman said Robbins had attempted to strangle her. He said some of the details are still under investigation.
