According to a probable cause statement, the female victim was roused from slumber between 2 and 2:30 a.m. when her light came on, revealing Jones standing over and staring at her. When the victim asked Jones why she was in her bedroom, Jones said nothing and did not move. The resident then left to wake her son. When they returned to the bedroom, they discovered Jones going through the mother's closet, using the flashlight on her phone. Allegedly, Jones was looking for items to steal.The woman's son knew Jones' name and attempted to make her leave the premises. Jones refused, saying that she was"scared." The son had to physically remove Jones from the house and take her to a neighbor's residence, who Jones knew.
The victim had to be convinced by her daughter to report the incident to the police. After following tips from citizens, Jones was discovered at the home of an acquaintance. Jones told police that a third person had let her into the house. However, the mother and son confirmed that the person did not live in the home. The back doorknob was damaged.
