Montgomery Advertiser An elderly Elmore County capital murder suspect is on his way back to the Elmore County Jail after allegedly violating his bond agreement. Paul Norman Jones, 81, of Wetumpka, was released in November of 2009 due to a heart condition, said District Attorney Randall Houston. He was released so he could travel to Virginia in the custody of his son to receive treatment for the ailment, Houston said. Prosecutors found out Jones has been living in Auburn since Dec. 3, and arrested him Tuesday for violating his bond, the prosecutor said. "He's been having a high, old time since returning to Alabama," Houston said. "He's been under surveillance by my office and the Wetumpka Police Department. Jones went on a 25 hour long gambling spree this past weekend in Biloxi. "I'm sure he has the ailments of an 81-year-old, but he was able to stay up 25 hours to gamble." Wetumpka officers were assisted by the Auburn Police Department Tuesday in arresting Jones. Tom Azar, Jones' attorney, said Tuesday afternoon that he had just received copies of court documents relating to the arrest and he could not comment at this time. Jones allegedly shot and killed Frank Barrett, 85, in May 2009 with a shotgun, court documents show. Jones was having a property line dispute with Gerald and Linda Ingram, his neighbors in the Meadowbrook subdivision, Houston said. He allegedly first shot the couple that day, Houston said, but they survived and recovered. He then allegedly walked across the cul-de-sac to Barrett's home and shot him through the doorway as he was calling 911 to report the shooting of the Ingram's, Houston said |
