Rising tension in an east McKinney neighborhood spilled into a
courtroom and City Council chambers Tuesday. Justice of the Peace Paul
Raleeh decided after a hearing that there was not enough evidence to
hold Chez Jones, who was taken into custody Aug. 27 after police said
he detailed plans to "X-out" specific officers responding to calls at
apartments near where he lives. The Collin County district attorney's
office had sought to hold Mr. Jones on a $50,000 peace bond, used to
prevent an imminent crime from being committed. Judge Raleeh said the
prosecution failed to prove Mr. Jones was about to kill an officer when
he was arrested and ordered him released on a personal recognizance
bond with a one-year order not to harass or assault the police. [more ]
