BRADENTON - DNA evidence has linked a man to a July home invasion robbery, sheriffs officials reported.

Alex Johnson, 20, is being charged with home invasion robbery with a firearm.

The home invasion occurred at a house in the 4100 block of 39th Street West. The victim told deputies two men with pistols barged into her home and asked where Bill was. She told the men she didnt know anyone by that name.

One man, who was wearing a ski mask, pushed her into the bathroom and told her to look at the ground while the other man ransacked her bedroom, according a sheriffs report. After the men left, her cell phone was the only item reported stolen.

At the end of August, the victim saw a story on a news website and reported that she believed a suspect on the website was also one of the men who invaded her home. Johnson had been arrested in a similar case and was already in jail when he was charged with the July home invasion.
