Telwar saw a photo of Jones that accompanied an article about the couple's allegations in Tuesday's Tennessean and told police that Jones was the man who robbed him, Aaron said. Telwar told police that while talking to Richards, Jones approached him from behind, hit him twice, reached into his pockets, took his belongings and fled. Police have been searching for Jones and Richards on the robbery charges since midday Tuesday, Aaron said. We fully believe they know they are being sought and they are not coming forward. We're looking for them to serve the aggravated robbery warrants and to, hopefully, conclude the investigative phase of the assault case'' involving Piller and Miller.
Aggravated robbery is a felony.
Jones is on probation after being found guilty of an attempt to sell the drug Ecstasy in September 2000. Donna Blackburn, executive director of the state Board of Probation and Parole, said yesterday that Jones had been scheduled to report for a drug test at 4 p.m. yesterday, but Aaron said he did not show up. Blackburn said Jones would have violated his probation by being in a club that serves alcohol. Piller, Miller and two witnesses gave police their accounts of the fight Wednesday, but police want to talk to the accusers. Gannett Co.
