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.
