A Jefferson County teen is being held on $700,000 bond after police say he carried out three home invasions in Hoover Thursday night and sexually assaulted one of his victims.

Anthony Marques Pittman, 19, is charged with first-degree rape, three counts of first-degree robbery and three counts of first-degree burglary, said Hoover police spokesman Lt. Keith Czeskleba.

Officers responded about 9:45 p.m. to the 1500 building of the Park at Galleria apartment complex on a report of an armed robbery. A woman told police she was in her apartment when she answered a knock at the door. As she opened the door, a black male armed with a pistol and wearing a grey hoodie with a red bandana forced his way inside the apartment.

The assailant male demanded money and the victim's cell phone. He then sexually assaulted her before leaving the apartment with the stolen property.

While officers were talking with the victim, they received a report of a second robbery in the 1600 building at the same complex, Czeskleba said. A male victim told officers he also answered a knock at his door and was met by a black male wearing a grey hoodie with a red bandana who forced his way inside at gunpoint. The suspect took money and a cell phone from this victim before fleeing the scene.

The third incident happened at 10:05 p.m. at the 4300 building of the Park at Hoover apartment complex. Again, a male victim reported that he heard a knock at his door and a black male wearing a grey hoodie with a red bandana forced his way inside at gunpoint.

The suspect took a Play Station game console, cash, and a laptop from the victim before fleeing. Officers found Pittman hiding in a vacant apartment in the 5000 building of The Park at Hoover and took him into custody.

Czeskleba said stolen property from all three of the victims was in Pittman's possession at the time of his arrest. The suspect was wearing a grey hoodie and was in possession of a red bandana and a pistol.

All three victims were able to positively identify him as the suspect. He was then booked into the Hoover City Jail, and formal warrants were obtained today.
