Myron Jones is back in Rapides Jail, allegedly picking up where he left off after 12 days out.

Jones, of Alexandria, has been in and out of lockup since 2019 with charges that twice included attempted murder.

Records indicate he has been an inmate 32 of the past 48 months. Counted another way, he has been out of jail 16 of the past 48 months. He is 22.

Currently he’s accused of attempted armed robbery with firearm, two narcotics possession counts, evidence tampering and probation violation.

His bail is set at $80,000.

Jones had been free since September 13. He had been held since last November under $1,100,000 bail.

Charges under that booking included simple escape, four different possession and distribution accusations, and resisting an officer.

Also tacked on were charges from February 2022 — resisting, carrying firearm with drugs, four different drug charges, criminal damage, illegal use of weapons and contempt.

Two months before that he was a suspect in a Monroe Street shooting. And two months before that, October 2021, he was released from a November 2020 arrest.

Those charges were attempted murder 2, armed robbery, aggravated battery 2nd degree, possession of CDS IV and illegal use of weapons. Bail was set at $321,500.

The November 20 jailing occurred three months after release from a September 2019 accusation of attempted 2nd degree murder, obstruction by intimidation and threats, criminal conspiracy and criminal damage. Bail was $34,00. Jones was released on August 3.
