Shots Fired at Bondsmen in Moberly

According to several Mid-Missouri news sources, shots were fired at bondsmen when they attempted to apprehend fugitive Darren L. Jones of Moberly. Jones was finally taken into custody early Monday morning after a seven-hour standoff with local police, sheriff's department and Missouri State Highway Patrol. According to a Moberly Police Department report, officers responded after a call was received from a bonding company stating they were in a foot pursuit and that Jones had fired shots at them. He was being sought after failing to appear for felony tampering and parole violation. Jones had two active felony warrants for his arrest. After the seven-hour standoff, Jones was taken into custody without incident. Casenet indicates that the tampering bond was written in August by P and J Bail Bonds, LLC. P and J is owned by Pamela Robinson of Brookfield, MO and Jeff Stilwell of Chillicothe, MO.
