Groman was the second Baltimore police officer shot this year. Sgt. Keith McNeil, who was
ambushed at an auto repair shop in March, "has a long way to go," Deputy Commissioner Jerry Rodriguez, the commander of the Professional Standards and Accountability Bureau, says.
Rodriguez says Jones' criminal background illustrates what police are up against these days. "At age 19 this individual is already on parole and probation," he says, adding that three of his prior arrests were for gun-related crimes.
"If they complied, at best they faced maybe a citation. They would be on their way in 10 to 15 minutes," Rodriguez tells the assembled media.
But that cannot be true for Jones who, being caught by police with a gun while on probation for other gun crimes, would certainly have faced another arrest at the very least.
