On November 15 at 5:20 p.m. DFC R. Wilson responded to Mimi’s Market on Rousby Hall Road in Lusby for the report of a hit and run auto accident.
Wilson was advised by the victim and several witnesses that while the victim was getting gas, another vehicle was in front of her at the pumps. The other vehicle, an Isuzu Rodeo, backed into her vehicle and subsequently left the scene.
A witness was able to obtain the offending vehicle tag number and DFC Wilson traveled to the address. There he encountered a woman, later identified as Iris Delenthia Jones, 51 of Lusby, who denied that she knew who had been driving the Isuzu, which was parked in her driveway.
A check of the home revealed a male hiding in a bathroom. He was later identified as Jeffrey John Jones, 33 of Lusby. Jones refused to comply with demands but was subdued and handcuffed.
A strong odor of alcohol was on Jones’ breath. Jones was arrested and charged with numerous traffic violations as well as DUI of Alcohol and resisting arrest.
Charges of hindering are pending against Iris Jones.
