A Rome man who was one of the Floyd County Sheriff’s Office’s most wanted was taken into custody Thursday after a short chase that ended just off of Rockmart Highway, according to Floyd County Jail reports.

According to the reports:

Jay Farrell Jones, 28, of 206 Chatillon Road, fled in a vehicle during the execution of an arrest warrant and threw a pipe with suspected meth residue out of the window of the vehicle after swerving into oncoming traffic.

Once he was stopped at Spur 101 and Jack Street the accused was found in possession of marijuana.

Jones’ original charges stemmed from a bench warrant handed down by a Grand Jury in July that charged him with felony counts of sale of methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute.

He was pulled over by officers last August in the parking lot of Fuddruckers, 595 Riverside Parkway, when he was observed texting while driving and ran away after being stopped. He escaped into the woods behind the restaurant and was unable to be located.

In addition to the bench warrant charges, Jones was charged with felony possession of methamphetamine, and two counts of felony fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer.

He was also charged with two counts of driving while license suspended or revoked, and misdemeanor counts of driving on an expired license, failure to maintain lane, possession of drug-related objects, possession of less than an ounce of marijuana and texting while driving.

Jones remained in jail Thursday night without bond and on hold for parole violation.
