Overview

• Officers took Jones into custody on July 24 while he was performing at a children’s birthday party in full Chuck E. Cheese mascot costume.
• He faces charges of theft of a credit card, criminal use of personal identification information, and fraudulent use of a credit card more than twice within six months.
• The arrest followed a probable cause affidavit in which victim Michelle Allen reported $105.57 in unauthorized charges on her child support Visa debit card between July 3 and July 22.
• Court records and filings suggest Jones allegedly committed a similar credit card offense in the previous six months, prompting questions about employee vetting and venue security.
• Jones was booked into the Leon County Jail and released later that morning on a $1,000 bond; his next court appearance is pending.
