The suspect in a Jackson burglary waived his right to a preliminary hearing Thursday afternoon before Associate Circuit Judge Gary A. Kamp.

Mark Lowery, 46, of Robinson, Ill., faces charges in connection with an April 10 burglary in Jackson. He has also been named as a possible suspect in a string of jewelry burglaries in Cape Girardeau County.

Kamp set a formal arraignment for Lowery for 9 a.m. June 15.

Jackson police traced some of the jewelry stolen during the burglary to a pawnshop in Robinson, and a composite sketch based on witness description was used to help identify Lowery, police have said.

Police also had surveillance photos of Lowery's vehicle because he left it parked near a bank in Jackson while he attempted the burglary, according to court documents.
