When Jones’s mother called the police, they went to Jones’s house and found the girl running around. Jones first said the girl wasn’t in his house, but a search revealed a secret trap door hidden under a rug in his bedroom, which is where the teenager was found.

What the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office found was proof that Jones and the girl used drugs and had a physical connection. Jones had also made death threats against the teenager, which made the case even worse.

Many charges have been brought against Jones because of these findings. He is now facing ten third-degree charges of rape, ten third-degree charges of sodomy, assault, strangulation, illegal dealings with a minor involving an illegal sex act and a controlled substance, possession of cocaine, and resisting arrest.
