On January 5, 2011, St. Mary’s County Cpl Walker and Deputy Ruest responded to an assault in progress in the parking lot of the Callaway Village Shopping Center.
Cpl Walker learned James R. Jones, 38 of Lexington Park, became involved in an argument with the victim. The argument became physical when Jones retrieved a tire iron and struck the victim in the head. Jones then entered a vehicle and drove over a curb in an attempt to strike the victim. Jones had left the scene prior to arrival of law enforcement but was located traveling south on Maryland Route 5 in a red Toyota Tundra.
Jones was arrested, charged with First and Second-Degree Assault. Jones was released to the custody of the St. Mary’s County Detention Center pending an appearance before the District Court Commissioner.
