Felony Fugitive Arrested At Flomaton Restaurant

A dangerous fugitive was taken into custody Monday at a Flomaton restaurant.

The Flomaton Police Department was assisted by the Brewton Police Department in arresting 34-year old Emmitt Jones III of Brewton. He had felony warrants for his arrest with the Brewton Police Department for burglary first degree and domestic violence second degree.

Jones was located in the parking lot of Hardee’s in Flomaton. Officers from Flomaton and Brewton conducted a “high risk take down” on Jones as he was sitting in the rear seat of a vehicle, according to police. Officers had previously received information that Jones was armed.

At the time of his arrest, Jones was found to be in possession of a loaded, large caliber handgun and an extra magazine, according to Flomaton Police.

In addition to the Brewton warrants, Jones was also charged with being a certain person forbidden to possess a firearm by Flomaton Police.

“This was a great job of communication and working together between the two departments to arrest Jones and take a gun off of our streets,” said Flomaton Police Chief Brian Davis.
