A small town Missouri police chief was on the fallacious end of this drug bust.
William Jones, who leads the police force in Louisiana, Missouri, was charged with second-degree drug trafficking after his girlfriend’s brother, Gabriel Thone, 24, was found dead from an apparent overdose within the 50-year-old lawman’s apartment on Tuesday night, in line with authorities.
Jones’ 25-year-old gal pal, Alexis Thone, and Gabriel’s younger brother, who’s 21, were also present in distress, but saved by Narcan, in line with authorities.
Investigators recovered what they consider to be fentanyl at the house, in line with a probable cause statement from a sheriff’s deputy. The Missouri State Highway Patrol will test the substance.
Jones is accused of attempting “to destroy, suppress and conceal physical evidence” by tossing out narcotics test kits in a dumpster before deputies arrived, in line with the probable cause statement.
The lawman was taken into custody during a traffic stop Wednesday afternoon and held on $150,000 cash-only bail. He’s also facing charges of possession of a controlled substance and tampering with evidence.
Alexis Thone was arrested on a second-degree drug trafficking and possession of controlled substance charges. She’s being held on $100,000 cash-only bail.
