NEWPORT NEWS - A deputy with the Newport News Sheriff's Office was arrested Wednesday and charged with trespassing and verbally assaulting his estranged wife.
Kevin O. Jones II, 24, of Hidenwood Drive, stands accused of going to his wife's house in the northern part of the city Monday even after she told him not to — leading to a charge of "trespassing after being forbidden."
Then he verbally assaulted her, the wife said in a citizen complaint filed directly to the Newport News Magistrate's Office on Wednesday.
Jones was arrested at a Walgreen's at the intersection of J. Clyde Morris Boulevard and Jefferson Avenue later that night. He was then released on his own recognizance.
Jones has worked as a deputy since August 2004, said Lt. Kathleen Carey, a spokeswoman with the sheriff's office. He is on administrative leave with pay as a result of the pending charge, she said
The article that YOU posted does not say he is charged with "verbally arguing." It says "verbally assaulting." Before you get too bent, try to figure out what a person could say to another person - blue or not - to be arrested for it. You don't get arrested for saying someone is fat or ugly... or even for calling them names.
ReplyDeleteWhat thing(s) would a person be charged for verbally saying? The fear those words could cause very easily can be harder to live with than a physical assault.
I'm curious, who's shoes have you walked in?
What's your personal concern in Mr. Jones over the couple of thousand other officers on this blog?
What do you know about blue?
What are you thinking makes "all men in blue" look bad? The blog? The news? Did you think that out before you wrote it? Do you really think that some officers who commit crimes make the good guys look bad? Is that how you see it?
While you are trying to make him look better, why did he go to his wife's house when she asked him not to? Did he go mad, or did he just trespass and happen to verbally assault her while he was there?
ReplyDeleteHow about directing your care for him at him and tell him to not set himSELF up to lose his job? Tell him, if you care about him, to leave his wife alone if she asks him to.
Whatever is going on in his life now that is screwed up is not the media's fault.
