CINCINNATI – Two fugitives were arrested Wednesday morning in Northern Kentucky.

The U.S. Marshals Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (SOFAST) together with the Central Kentucky Fugitive Task Force (CKFTF), the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, and Kenton County Sheriff’s Office arrested Willie and Jeromy Jones.

The suspects were wanted by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office for aggravated murder, and two counts of felonious assault.

SOFTAST adopted the case and discovered the Jones brothers fled Ohio and were hiding in the Kenton County area. The investigation led to the arrest of Jeromy Jones on Woodburn Avenue in Covington and Willie Jones on Transformation Lane in Florence.

Both arrests happened without incident.

The Jones brothers are being held at the Kenton County Jail pending extradition back to Ohio.

“The United States Marshals Service is committed to bringing those who commit violent crimes to justice. We work with our partners at the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office daily to locate dangerous fugitives and remove them from our community. This arrest is the result of the teamwork between our task force in Southern Ohio and our USMS partners in the Eastern District of Kentucky.” - Michael D. Black, United States Marshal.
