Sleeping Lawrenceville Woman Arrested On Outstanding Warrants

On 7/12/21, Mt. Carmel Police arrested Jennifer R. Jones, age 28, of Lawrenceville, on three outstanding warrants for her arrest. Police were called to an apartment building in the 1000 block of North Cherry Street to investigate suspicious subjects in the alley. Upon arrival, officers located a male subject run towards a gold Buick parked in the area as another officer arrived from the other direction. The male subject entered the passenger side of the vehicle and began moving items around. Officers ordered the subject out of the vehicle and noticed a female seated in the driver’s seat sleeping. Officers recognized the female to be Jennifer Jones although they noted that she was wearing a wig in an attempt to alter her identity. Jones was found to have warrants out of Wabash County, Jasper County, and Vanderburgh County. Jones was taken into custody and transported to the Wabash County Jail where she was issued the warrants and held pending the posting of bond. The male subject was released without charges.
