Jacksonville, Florida – U.S. District Judge Marcia Morales
Howard today sentenced Vincent J. Jones, Jr. (47, Fernandina Beach) to eight
years and four months in federal prison for distributing cocaine. He pleaded
guilty on January 23, 2018.
According to court documents, Jones sold cocaine to a
confidential informant on three separate occasions in October 2017. When law
enforcement officers witnessed him driving and attempted to arrest him pursuant
to a warrant, he refused to pull over. The officers witnessed him throw a bag
of crack cocaine out of the window before he eventually stopped his car. At the
time of this incident, Jones had 10 prior felony drug convictions.
This case was investigated by the Nassau County Sheriff’s
Office and the FBI. It was prosecuted by
Assistant United States Attorney Michael J. Coolican.
