"He’s a multiple-time convicted felon. He’s been charged several times for being a felon in possession of a firearm," the U.S. marshal on the case said. "He’s also got a criminal history for recklessly endangering safety, possession of stolen vehicles, as well as numerous drug charges."

The 32-year-old’s latest troubles began in November 2021. Jones was arrested by Milwaukee police for a probation warrant as he left a dentist's office in Brookfield. During that arrest, investigators said they recovered a Glock 17 9mm pistol with an extended magazine. They said he was also wearing a backpack that contained marijuana, cocaine and fentanyl.

"Not a typical thing you’d bring to a dentist’s office," the marshal said.

Investigators said Jones had been showing up to court – but never made it to an October hearing. A warrant was then issued for his arrest.

"He’s a wanted criminal. He’s probably going to be armed. He’s a danger to the community," the marshal explained.
