The arrests included prostitutes, johns and a pimp.

The retired police sergeant commented candidly on his arrest in an interview with ABC 13. When asked if the arrest is embarrassing, Jones said, “Sure it’s embarrassing, very embarrassing. My son called and said, ‘Dad, you’re on TV.'”

Jones also said this was a misunderstood joke.

“Sometimes things are said in jest and you don’t follow through,” he said. “I would go to court whether it makes Channel 13 or not.”

Another embarrassing arrest included Efrail Velasquez, a father whose 4-year-old child was in the car at the time he allegedly attempted to buy sex.
