Members of both task forces received information that Jones, identified as a member of the Nine Trey Gangstas, a Bloods street gang, had fled North Carolina to Mastic Beach following a shooting incident that occurred on April 1, 2015 in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
Robbery Task Force detectives located Jones, who attempted to deceive police by identifying himself as another person. Jones was arrested and charged with Criminal Impersonation 2nd Degree, and he will be held at First District Court in Central Islip on September 26 as a fugitive from justice. North Carolina authorities have been notified and extradition proceedings are pending.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. Defendants are entitled to a fair trial with the burden on the prosecution to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
