Video shows arrest of double-murder suspect in Florida
Authorities have released audio of a 911 call reporting an alleged sexual battery and double-murder in a Florida RV resort. The suspect was taken into custody a short while later, which was all captured on body cameras worn by law enforcement officers.
A terrified young woman called 911 to report that she was victim of a sexual battery. She also reported that the suspect, Justin Lamar Jones, had killed his wife and 17-year-old stepson with a mallet hours earlier.
“He was threatening to kill me with a hammer, so I am assuming that he used a hammer, I just woke up and I seen him on top of them, I am yelling at him to stop. He grabbed me off the bed and duct-taped my mouth, my hands… my feet, my ankles.”
The alleged crimes were reported an RV resort in Clermont, Florida. The woman said she was able to escape her attacker.
“I busted the three zip ties that were on my lower leg,” she explained. “I punched the wooden wall out to wiggle my way out, and I went out the bathroom door.”
Deputies found Jones at a nearby gas station. Body camera video worn by law enforcement officers was released on Friday which showed his arrest.
