In the early hours of Thursday, May 16th, Danville Police were summoned to a Baughman Avenue residence for a domestic incident.

The investigation revealed that Joseph T. Jones, the ex-boyfriend of the 24-year-old female resident, had forcefully entered her home and assaulted her. After observing her through a window, Jones shattered the front door, confronted the victim, and destroyed her phone before escaping. A warrant was issued for his arrest on charges of assault and burglary.

Later that morning, Jones unlawfully re-entered the damaged residence, leading to another confrontation and physical assault on the victim. Police tracked him down to his workplace in Garrard County, where he was apprehended by Lancaster Police and the US Postal Service.

Jones was charged with multiple offenses, including two counts of second-degree burglary, two counts of fourth-degree domestic violence assault, theft, and criminal mischief, and was detained at the Boyle County Jail.
