Sheriff Victor Hill's "Operation Dark Knight Returns" Finds Fugitive Hiding In Trunk. Video Footage Included!
The old cliche that "you can run but you can't hide" proved true today for Frank Jones who was a fugitive wanted out of Fulton County stemming from Burglary and Entering Auto charges. On April 11, 2016, Jones fled from deputies in a vehicle after being told to place the gear in park. Jones jumped out of the vehicle and fled on foot after a brief car chase escaping temporarily.
Earlier today, Clayton County Police joined forces with the Sheriff's Office for "Operation Dark Knight Returns" to look for wanted suspects which netted a total of 25 arrests. During this operation, a visit was made to Jones' residence.
Jones' spouse, Cassandra Jones, answered the door after a long period of time and stated he wasn’t there. She said she was the only person in the house. There were vehicles outside to include the vehicle Frank Jones had absconded in on the previous arrest attempt on April 11, 2016. Upon searching the house, Frank Jones was located inside of a trunk. There were two smaller trunks setting on top of the trunk he was in which was only possible if someone else put them there.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones were arrested for Obstruction and both now face the wall at Georgia's toughest para-military jail.
As you may notice on Mr. Jones mugshot, he goes under the alias of Tommie Lee Jones. Ironically, Tommie Lee Jones is the name of the famous actor who played the leading cop role in a movie called "The Fugitive".
