He had a previous record for cocaine possession, car theft, and forging checks.
"Jones was arrested Sept. 15, 2001, by Crystal Lake police on suspicion of stealing a car. Court records showed Jones had stolen a minivan about a week earlier and later broke into another vehicle.
During this spree, he also passed checks on his father's account, ranging in amounts from $4 to about $62.
For the crime spree, including another stolen-vehicle charge in another county, he received concurrent six-year terms, and had a year tacked on for the cocaine case.
Jones was imprisoned at Big Muddy Correctional Center on April 18, 2002, and was released on Jan. 15, 2003, according to Illinois Department of Corrections records.Jones Sr. said his son was discharged early from the Navy."
Yes, he served less than one year for a seven year term (two concurrent six-year terms) because in addition to an economy in ruins, Illinois Criminal Justice system also sucks.
What I want to know is how this Darwin award winner managed to get primary custody of five kids? I'm betting the mother of the kids must have had some issues also.
