He told deputies that he worked for the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee and was just leaving work and wearing the vest because it was comfortable.
The Jail Administrator for Campbell County, who is also Jones’ cousin, told OCSO deputies that Jones did not work for the jail anymore and is not re-hirable after impersonating an officer there.
