The feds put T'Quarius Jones back in jail Monday. The Justice Department charged him with receiving a firearm while under felony indictment. DOJ issued the following statement:
The ATF agent's affidavit is posted below. It is a sure bet the Justice Department will ask the Judge to deny bond to Jones. The case is assigned to U.S. Magistrate Keith Ball.T’Quarius Jones, 21, of Jackson, Mississippi, has been charged with receipt of a firearm by a person under felony indictment, announced U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst and Special Agent in Charge Kurt Thielhorn with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
On or about April 30, 2018, Jones was arrested for allegedly killing another man in Jackson by shooting him over 20 times with an AR15-style rifle. Although initially detained, Jones was later released by Hinds County Circuit Judge Tomie Green on a $20,000 bond.
On or about May 16, 2019, Jones was indicted by a Hinds County Grand Jury charging him with First Degree Murder. Jones was nonetheless allowed to remain free on a $20,000 bond by Hinds County Circuit Judge Adrienne Wooten. Judge Wooten also denied the local District Attorney’s request that the Defendant wear an ankle monitor.
On May 7, 2020, Jones was stopped by a Jackson Police Officer. Upon approaching the vehicle, the officer saw a black handgun in his vehicle. When asked about the weapon, Jones stated that the gun was his. That firearm, a Smith & Wesson 9mm pistol, was purchased by Jones’s father on March 14, 2020. Federal law prohibits individuals from receiving firearms while under indictment.
On May 27, 2020, the Hinds County District Attorney’s Office moved to revoke Jones’s bond. On or about June 19, 2020, Hinds County Circuit Judge Wooten denied the District Attorney’s Motion to Revoke Bond and allowed Jones to continue to remain free on $20,000 bond.
Jones is set to appear before Magistrate Judge F. Keith Ball at 2:30 p.m. today. Jones faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.
The public is reminded that a criminal complaint is merely a charge and should not be considered as evidence of guilt. Every defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
This case is part of Project EJECT, an initiative by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Mississippi under the U.S. Department of Justice’s Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) and Project Guardian.

Who says we have a shortage of Cops?
Another case of failure to timely indict by the former D.A. + low bond or no bond with no monitoring by the court = (allegedly) dangerous people free to roam in society.
Part and parcel to living the dynamic vibrant city life. If you can't handle the city then just hush filthy racist.
and then the mayor wonders why crime is so high in jackson..
The wheels of Justice may roll slowly, but there are a few mules willing to pull the wagon. God bless the ATF guys and the Feds.
There’s a psychological reason for letting these retards go with low bond and or no bond. It’s evident the Judges want them to continue to terrorize their communities and kill.
As retired General Russel L. Honore’ stated, “don’t get stuck on stupid”.
These idiots don’t know boundaries!
Fed charge will be acted on. Only thing I can see is he is gone with posting bail/bond set by Fed Judge. Feds rarely give No Bond rulings. Get him back, but will take a bit of time.
With a name like T'Quarius, destiny was either a life of crime or the life of a Klingon Warrior.
Who wants to bet he gets released tomorrow from federal custody?
Feds should run Jackson.
I've watched so many ballistic gel tests on youtube of of various 5.56 NATO and .223 ammo that I hate to imagine what the victim looked like after being shot 20 times. Worst still if T'Q had a 20" rifle instead of a 16" carbine.
Why yall pick on Green so much? Wooten sounds like the problem. At least Green writes poems and such.
TQ in federal court now........thats where the big boys play..............and no blessings allowed
federal court is where the big boys come to play. this is the only time a jackson thug will get his comeuppance. send lumumba down to the federal court house to scream BLM!!!!
Again, who wants to bet he will get released tomorrow by Feds? The constitution still matters.
Thanks for following this 'The Incredible sage of T'Q.'
Cannot imagine being charged with premeditated murder and allowed out without a massive bond fee. Strict orders on reporting in, restrictions. Add in a gun fight where he played victim. Sure T'Q is armed for self defense, kinfolk and friends of kin want revenge.
Maybe he will end up bleeding out on some street, hopefully no little kids hit when they spray rounds.
Does anyone know how he turned the handgun into a machine gun? Asking for a friend.
Note that in this case it appears the federal charges resulted only from the perp's RECEIPT of a firearm while under indictment, not from his POSSESSION of it, regardless of what the lamestream media reports.
Under federal law, a person who is under indictment or information for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year cannot lawfully ship, transport (in interstate or foreign commerce, I think), or receive a firearm or ammunition. Such persons may continue to lawfully possess firearms and ammunition obtained prior to the indictment or information, but cannot do so once the conviction becomes final.
So the cops lucked out only because it was a newly-received gun.
