CAPTURED - Baton Rouge Police say officers responded to a call of shots fired in the area of 4700 Scene Hwy around 9:49 pm on May 1, 2020.

While checking the area and talking with nearby residents, they contacted Brandon Jones.  Officers checked his warrants and placed him under arrest.

He is being held in the East Baton Rouge Parish jail on $50,000 bail and will face extradition back to Washington state.

WANTED IN KING COUNTY --

Brandon Jones is a chronic domestic violence offender who's wanted in King County for felony harassment  Detectives say showed up at the woman's apartment in SeaTac in September with a gun in his hand. “The victim saw him arrive and she immediately was afraid because he has threatened her in the past,” said King County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ryan Abbott. “She took off running up the stairs, tried to get to her apartment with her daughter. The suspect, Mr. Jones, ran behind. Out of his waistband he produced a black hand gun, pointing it towards the victim and his daughter. The mom tried to shield the daughter behind her to protect her and Jones made comments that he, ‘Should just shoot her right now.’ Thankfully, he did not do that and the victim was able to quickly get into her apartment and shut the door. The suspect started kicking the door and started yelling that he was going to kill her and she felt that was actually going to happen and she called 911 in fear for her life and her daughter's life."

Police were there quickly, but Jones took off -- and hasn't been seen since.

He has a massive rap sheet, including a slew of domestic violence crimes, thefts, stealing cars, drugs -- and multiple convictions for illegally being a felon with a firearm.



He’s 33 years old, 5’4” and weighs 165 pounds. He has a tattoo on his neck and a cross or an ‘x’ inked between his eyes.
