He solicited an unnamed suspect to shoot the transport deputies in the head so he could flee. Upson sheriff Dan Kilgore was notified of the plot by Clayton sheriff Victor Hill who provided a SWAT team to ensure Jones was successfully transported to the hearing. Jones is charged with felony murder, malice murder, two counts aggravated assault, kidnaping and firearms charges. Prosecutors says both Jones and co-defendant Kiera Williams were armed with 9 mm. pistols at the time Crawford was killed. After the hearing, Jones was whisked back to Clayton County where he is being held.
