He was arrested by Bellevue police the evening of October 9, 2019.

Jones is serving three to 11-years for charges out of Douglas County including terroristic threats and assault. His sentence began on November 16, 2015. He has a tentative release date of April 18, 2020. Jones now faces charges out of Sarpy County.
