She had never been arrested before but went to jail after police showed up at her house. "About 10 officers pull up,” Jones said. “As soon as I see them, I scream and took off running into my house. They rushed out, rushed to my door, they're knocking on my door." They arrested her for misdemeanor criminal mischief, accusing her and a few other protesters of damaging tables inside a restaurant off West 7th Street in May 2020 during a night of loud marches. She admitted she was inside the restaurant with other demonstrators but strongly denied damaging any property or committing any crime.
