He violated probation and refused to get mandatory domestic violence treatment. Jones has a criminal history full of assault, robbery and drugs. He was last busted for ignoring a no-contact order with his ex-girlfriend after taking off with her car. After he called her and threatened to destroy the car, he finally returned it several days later. Police say he walked into the woman's home, and became pushy and aggressive. She was able to leave the house and park the car at a relative’s home to hide it from him. Jones showed up at her house the very next day and threatened her because he wasn’t able to obtain property he had left in the car. Officers said that Jones is especially dangerous because of his love for firearms. Officers said they also arrested him after he went to an apartment to buy a gun. "He shoots himself in the hand and the bullet travels through the wall to the neighbor's apartment, barely missing the neighbor," said Officer Christina Lacy with the Department of Corrections. "Officers found two rifles and a loaded pistol in a storage closet at the apartment. They also discovered a trail of blood leading outside the front door. This evidence eventually led them to arrest Jones," she added.

It's believed that Jones is running from the law with his wife Shavon McCray, also known as Shavon Jones, who has a warrant out of Nevada for escape. Police say she has a record of identity theft, scamming and robbing people of their money to pay for upscale apartments and beautiful things for herself.
