ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – A north St. Louis County man facing a child sex crime charge remained behind bars Sunday morning after surrendering to police.
Authorities are confirming that 48-year-old Julian Jones Sr. was jailed at the St. Louis County Justice Center in Clayton on a $150,000 cash-only bond. Authorities had been looking for Jones after an at large charge was issued against him back on January 20.
That means Jones was charged with a crime, but was still not in custody.
On Saturday, St. Louis County Police said Jones turned himself in at the Justice Center and was taken into custody without incident.
