Correctional Officer Arrested

Earlier today, Troopers arrested a LaSalle Parish Correctional Officer at his residence.

Law Enforcement continues to make progress in our campaign labeled Operation “Child Watch”. Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigations/Alexandria Field Office and LaSalle Parish Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant around 9:00 am at the residence of Johnny Jones Jr. (W/M 28 yrs) of 425 Carpenter Street, Jena, LA. Due to evidence obtained during an investigation, it was determined that child pornography was being downloaded at this residence.

“It’s always a sad day when you discover someone on our side of the badge has violated the trust of the people and dishonored the very oath we've sworn to uphold, but this should prove to the public that we, in Law Enforcement, police our own,” said Sheriff Scott Franklin. “I stand behind the Louisiana State Police in this investigation and will cooperate in any way to insure they have all the evidence they need to ensure a conviction.”

Jones Jr. was booked into the LaSalle Parish Sheriff’s Office Jail and charged with Pornography Involving Juveniles (LRS 14:81.1).
