Deputy Larry Jones Arrested for Domestic Violence

Muscogee County Sheriff’s Deputy Larry Jones was recently arrested on an accusation of domestic violence, Sheriff John Darr said Tuesday.

Jones, a 23-year veteran of the department, had a warrant issued against him out of Chattahoochee County around two weeks ago, Darr said. When Darr learned of the warrant, Jones was called to the Sheriff’s office on the fourth floor of the Columbus Government Center.

“We arrested him, just like we’re supposed to, and took him to Chattahoochee County, where he made bond,” Darr said. “It involved an alleged domestic dispute.”

Jones has been suspended without pay pending the outcome of an internal investigation and the case against him, Darr said.

As a deputy, Jones was assigned to courtroom detail, Darr said. His duties included security and escorting prisoners.
