ORANGE PARK – An Orange Park man was arrested on Sept. 20 in connection with a carjacking and a series of burglaries.

Jayden Anthony Butler, 18, had additional charges filed on Sept. 30. He’s now accused of carjacking, attempted grand theft auto, burglary and armed robbery.

His bond was set at $1,50,012.

According to one of four arrest reports, Butler’s spree started on May 25 when a woman said Butler put a gun against her head inside her apartment and said, “Where’s the money!” Butler then hit the woman in the head with the handgun. He and another woman, identified as Izza Azzaria, took $70 and a pocket knife from a backpack. She told deputies the two defendants warned her if they saw her again, they’d kill her.

The victim identified the two men after looking through suspect photos provided by CCSO. Deputies found items reported stolen in a bedroom where Butler lived on Wells Road.

Butler was also charged in connection with three incidents on June 18.

It started with the theft of a handgun from a car on Aurora Boulevard in Orange Park.

Forty-four minutes later, he was accused of attempting to steal a car from Ursa Street in Orange Park. According to the arrest report, Butler admitted he was the lookout while four others broke into the steering column of Kia so they could steal the car and go to a party in Jacksonville. The screwdriver broke in the ignition, so they couldn’t take the car.

Then, at 10:15 p.m., Butler is suspected of being one of three men with handguns who pointed their weapons at a couple on Ursa Street and demanded the keys to their car. Deputies found the stolen car a half-mile away in an apartment complex parking lot where Butler lived on Wells Road.

Butler’s bond was set at $1,050,012.
