In October, Bleboo committed a series of crimes. In the first incident, Bleboo and his two co-defendants invaded the home of a couple and their three children. Bleboo held an AR-15 to both of the victims' heads while the others stole their belongings.

Three days later, Bleboo was involved in another incident in which he broke into another home while the victim was sleeping and fired his gun at the victim before escaping.

Later, officers spotted Bleboo driving carelessly down University Club Boulevard. After they initiated a traffic stop, the Bleboo fled in his vehicle, causing an accident. He then continued to flee on foot until he was eventually detained by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
