National Guardsman arrested on cocaine charge
December 2, 2006 — A Texas Army National Guardsman was arrested Thursday on a possession of cocaine charge while on duty at a U.S. Border Patrol station in Brownsville.
Sgt. John Carlos Jones, 28, was arrested by police shortly after 1:30 p.m. Thursday at the Border Patrol station at 1123 Central Blvd., according to a Brownsville police report.
Jones told police he bought the drug Tuesday night for $25, and then he “broke off a piece of the rock of crack cocaine and smoked it in a cigarette,” according to the report.
When he went to work Wednesday night, he took the crack cocaine with him, the report states.
At 3:20 a.m. Thursday, Jones said he was going to smoke a cigarette, and as he took out a pack of cigarette from his pant’s pocket, a Border Patrol agent noticed a box which contained cocaine on the chair in which Jones was sitting, according to the report.
Jones provided a statement to police and “took full responsibility for the cocaine,” the report states.
Capt. Dick Jinks, a public information officer with the Texas National Army Guard, said Jones has been with the Texas National Army Guard since 1997.
Jinks said Jones has been stationed in Brownsville since July for Operation Jump Start when President Bush ordered troops deployed to the Rio Grande Valley and other parts of the border.
Jinks could not confirm if Jones has been placed on administrative leave and only said Jones remains in custody with local law enforcement agencies.
Roy Cervantes, spokesman for the U.S. Border Patrol, said such behavior would not be tolerated by his agency and that the case is being handled by the Brownsville Police Department.
As of Friday afternoon, Jones remained in custody at the Carrizalez-Rucker Detention Center in Olmito in lieu of a $10,000 bond.
