In June 2018, Jack Jones was arrested in Santa Paula on suspicion of commercial burglary under $950 not during business hours and conspiracy to commit a crime, comprising two felony charges.
A press release from the Santa Paula Police Department alleged that Jones and two other young men broke into a Panda Express fast food restaurant before being taken into custody.
Jones, 20, and two other former Long Beach Poly football players, Douglass Curry, 20, and Lohia Marks, 19, were booked in Ventura County Jail, where Jones was held on a $20,000 bond.
The police said that Jones and Curry were found inside the Panda Express; Marks was in a car and fled the scene, leading officers on a chase for a couple of blocks before curbing the vehicle and apprehending him.
Jones retained the Hollywood Hills law firm of Lessem, Newstat & Tooson for his defense. Eventually, he pled guilty to burglary, which is a second-degree misdemeanor charge, and served 45 days of house arrest.
