<\/a>Petersburg, VA \u2013 23 April 2017 – The Petersburg Assistant Fire Marshal is speaking out after he was arrested at his home Friday and charged with shooting at two repo men. Marlow Jones faces two misdemeanors after the repo company said he pointed a gun at them to make them leave. Jones is challenging that claim and the reason they showed up to his door in the first place.<\/p>\nPetersburg police say they took the repo men\u2019s complaints to a magistrate who decided there was probable cause to take out two warrants against the Assistant Fire Marshal. Jones says he will fight the charges.<\/p>\n
It was early Friday morning.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhen I looked out that window, I\u2019m like, \u2018someone is in my yard stealing,\u2019\u201d Jones said.<\/span><\/p>\n He says he picked up his personal weapon, attached it to his hip and ran to his back yard.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI said \u2018what are y\u2019all doing man,\u2019 because at the time, I didn\u2019t\u00a0know who the hell they were,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s when he noticed a tow truck.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhen I saw they were the repo men, this is what I did with the weapon, I sat it down on the bumper and I said \u2018ya\u2019ll have 3 seconds to leave my property,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n Jones claims a white van then\u00a0came to take what was paid for as of last month.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThey said \u2018we have orders to take this van\u2019. I said \u2018no you don\u2019t, you have the wrong orders\u2019 \u2026 I said \u2018that\u2019s not true\u2019,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDid you fire the gun?\u201d NBC 12 asked.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI did not fire the gun,\u201d Jones said.<\/span><\/p>\n The repo men left, but shortly afterward police arrived saying the men complained Jones fired at them.\u00a0Police say neighbors heard gunshots around the time this all went down.<\/span><\/p>\n Jones says that may be the case, but not because of his gun. He says it was, instead, because of a nearby wooded area where hunters frequent.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThey shoot like crazy over there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Jones is charged with brandishing a firearm and discharging a weapon within city limits. Police took the gun as evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThey will see that gun has not been fired. They will also see that gun is not missing one round of ammunition. \u2026I\u2019d understand if I had my gun in the middle of the street, that\u2019s brandishing your firearm \u2026 But I\u2019m in my yard \u2026 If you know you own something and someone says they\u2019re coming to take it, you\u2019re not just going to let them take it. \u2026Repo man or mailman, you have no right to be in my yard,\u201d Jones said.<\/span><\/p>\n As assistant fire marshal, Jones is a sworn officer with power to arrest others. Friday, he was put in handcuffs and taken to the police station. Monday, he says he\u2019s filing charges against the repo men\u00a0for trespassing.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Source:\u00a0NBC 12 News<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Petersburg, VA \u2013 23 April 2017 – The Petersburg Assistant Fire Marshal is speaking out…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22774,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,1181],"tags":[37,41,42,91,6,8,9,10,43,7,839,11,12,33],"class_list":["post-13584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-violence","tag-arrest","tag-gun","tag-gun-fire","tag-police","tag-repo","tag-repo-agency","tag-repo-agent","tag-repo-man","tag-repo-shooting","tag-repossession","tag-repossession-violence","tag-repossessor","tag-violence","tag-wrongful-repossession"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13584"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13584\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27006,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13584\/revisions\/27006"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curepossession.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/h2>\n
