Jones is still in custody at the Natrona County Detention Center from a May 27th incident. He appeared in Circuit Court on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to charges of larceny and property damage.

Police affidavit reports that Jones was found attempting to start a man's pickup and when confronted, Jones allegedly used a golf club to pummel the pickup.
