Jones was booked into the Laramie County Detention Center and subsequently charged with felony possession of cocaine, a crime punishable by up to seven years in prison, up to a $15,000 fine, or both, and misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance in pill form.

Initial Court Appearance

On Wednesday, Aug. 13, Jones was seen in Laramie County Circuit Court in front of Judge Antoinette Williams on the charges.

Williams appointed Jones a public defender and asked what the state's position regarding bond was.

"The state believes that due to the nature of these allegations that a cash bond would be appropriate," the state said. "The state was thinking somewhere in the neighborhood of $2,000, but the state would defer to the court."

Bond Set at $5K Cash

Williams set Jones' bond at $5,000 cash, to which he replied, "I can't get an OR (own recognizance) bond? I had an OR bond in my other case."

"No, you can't, sir," said Williams. "I'm looking at your criminal history. You have a possession of powder or crystal from 2015, felony possession in 2016, possession of powder or crystal in 2018, manufacture or deliver 2017, 2018, possession 2025, another possession in 2025, and then this case."
