Santa Rosa man drove off after holding gun to his own head: PD

(KRON) — A 45-year-old Santa Rosa man who was reported to be holding a gun to his head in his residence was taken into custody after he got in his car and drove off, Santa Rosa police said.

Casey Eugene Jones was accused of driving under the influence and firearms violations.

Officers were dispatched about 12:35 p.m. Saturday to the residence near the 1000 block of Spenlow Road on a report that a man was walking around inside with a gun to his head, police said in a press release.

As officers were responding to the residence, the man drove away in his blue Toyota Coupe, police said.

When officers located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop, Jones was found to be in possession of a loaded, concealed firearm, police said. Officers located a second firearm in the trunk of the vehicle. Neither gun was registered to Jones.

“Jones submitted to a chemical test which revealed his blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was more than four times the legal limit of .08%,” said police in a social media post.

Jones was arrested and booked into Sonoma County Jail where they face several charges, including carrying a loaded firearm in a public place.
