Philadelphia Man Charged with Multiple Felonies in Saquon Barkley Home Break-In Attempt

A Philadelphia man has been charged by Montgomery County in connection to the attempted break-in at Eagles’ running back Saquon Barkley’s home, along with two other burglaries. Jabir Parker, 24, has been charged by the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office with multiple felonies, including burglary, conspiracy to burglary, criminal trespass, theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property, criminal use of a communications facility, and related crimes, according to a news release. The Montgomery County DA did not identify Barkley as one of the victims, but multiple outlets in Philadelphia reported that Barkley’s home was one of the residences that Parker had allegedly attempted to break into. Parker was arrested on Tuesday by the Lower Merion Police Department with assistance from FBI SWAT, the Pennsylvania State Police, the Philadelphia Police Department, and the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office. He appeared before a judge, where bail was set at $1 million, and Parker was remanded to Montgomery County Correctional Facility. Parker is scheduled to return to court on September 10 for a preliminary hearing. Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele commended the Lower Merion Police for their efforts in locating and holding Parker accountable. Authorities stated they are looking for additional suspects, and any tips should be sent to the Lower Merion Police. Barkley and his family were home at the time of the alleged burglary attempt on July 18, and everyone was unharmed. Prosecutors alleged that Parker stole multiple items of jewelry worth nearly $800,000 as well as a home safe.
