A rural Worthington man who allegedly called 911 nine times one night and spoke inappropriately to a dispatcher is facing a misdemeanor for that, but a petition to revoke his bond in another case landed him in jail without bond.

Shadric Scott Jones, 41, of rural Worthington, was arrested late last Friday night on a warrant issued on a petition to revoke his bond in a case of intimidation, a Level 6 felony, resisting law enforcement, a Class A misdemeanor, and disorderly conduct, a Class B misdemeanor. This case stemmed from an incident that occurred in late June when Jones was arrested then bonded out of jail by posting $550. The petition to revoke that bond and a warrant for his arrest was issued last Tuesday, August 18, after another criminal case was filed against him.

In the newest case, Jones is accused of the crime of unlawful use of the 911 service, a Class A misdemeanor. It’s a misdemeanor, so he’s been summoned to appear in court in September for an initial hearing.

Greene County Sheriff’s Deputy Jordan Allor alleges that Jones misused the 911 system on Monday, August 10. Around 10:18 p.m. that night, Deputy Allor was dispatched to a residence on North County Road 400 West in the Worthington area to do a welfare check. Dispatch at the sheriff’s department had received three 911 calls from a landline at the residence with nobody responding. Dispatch tried to call the number back by there was no answer.

While Deputy Allor was on the way, Jones called 911 from a different number and said he had been battered. Dispatch said he was hard to understand and he hung up on them.

GCSD Deputy Davis Aerne also responded and when the two deputies arrived, they talked to Jones who said a woman had broken into his house and punched him in the face about six times then left. Deputy Allor said Jones did not have any redness or swelling but he had slurred speech, unsteady balance and an odor of an alcoholic beverage.

Deputy Allor contacted the woman who Jones said broke in and she said she was at the residence earlier after Jones asked her to come over but he was intoxicated and had pushed her up against a wall and was aggressive. She left.

Deputy Allor reported that during the course of this investigation, Jones called 911 at least nine separate times. He hung up when dispatch answered on seven of those calls. On the other two calls, he was hard to understand due to slurred speech. On one of those calls, which are recorded, Jones said things to the dispatcher that can’t be repeated in this story – using suggestive sexual language generally considered to be nasty and inappropriate.

Jones was being held without bond on the petition to revoke bond.

In addition to these two cases, Jones has two other criminal cases pending against him. He’s been charged with battery, a Class B misdemeanor, in one. In the other, a petition to revoke a suspended sentence is pending on a conviction of operating a vehicle while intoxicated with endangerment, a Class A misdemeanor.
