A fugitive’s run from the law has come to an end!

On Friday, July 24, 2020, a Nolan County Deputy Sheriff was following a lead as to the whereabouts of Daniel Ray Jones, a fugitive from justice. Jones, who had been avoiding detection by law enforcement for several weeks, was located in a parked vehicle at the car wash on Hailey Street. When the deputy approached the vehicle to speak with Jones, he jumped from the vehicle and fled the area on foot across Hailey Street, where he attempted to elude the pursuing deputy.

Deputies set up a perimeter, surrounding Jones, and quickly located him in an alley between 13th and 14th Street in the 1000 block. He was taken into custody and transported to the Nolan County jail where he was booked in on five (5) outstanding felony warrants and charged with evading arrest or detention and possession of a controlled substance.
