Deputies responded to a call about a fight on Low Gap Road, where the victim claimed she was attacked and robbed by Dustin Jones and Kimberly Edwards. The victim, who sustained visible facial injuries, told authorities she was ambushed inside the residence, assaulted, and had approximately $800 stolen from her vehicle before the suspects fled in a red Camaro.
Jones was later located and detained, found carrying $407 in cash and a small bag of suspected crack cocaine weighing 9.9 grams. He was charged with robbery, battery, conspiracy, and possession of a controlled substance.
