 Officers with the Knox County Sheriff’s Office Juvenile
Crime Task Force and the Department of Corrections arrested a man Friday morning
who escaped from a work release program in 1975. Sixty year old John Lewis
Jones of Minnesota
Avenue was taken into custody after several weeks of
research to make sure he was identified correctly. He was initially tracked
down as juvenile officers looked for his daughter who has several outstanding
probation violations. Jones was arrested without incident.
Since walking off a Department of Corrections work
detail on Riverside
Drive in 1975, he has gone by many aliases and under
those aliases has been charged with a variety of crimes including trespassing,
evading arrest, larceny, drug charges, and even a homicide charge in another
state.
He will be transported to Brushy Mountain Prison after
being processed in the Knox County Detention Facility.
