Domonique Marysa Janae Jones
Four months after a Beaumont United High School (BUHS) security guard caught an 18-year-old student with several e-cigarettes and ecstasy pills she intended to sell, a Jefferson County grand jury indicted the Timberwolf teen for possession of a controlled substance in a drug-free zone.
According to a probable cause affidavit released Sept. 21, a BUHS security guard called to advise he stopped a student, identified as Domonique Marysa Janae Jones, with e-cigarettes and a small cigar baggy containing red pills.
A campus behavior coordinator then searched Jones and found two additional e-cigarettes, reported Beaumont Police Department (BPD) Officer Rodriguez. Jones then admitted to the administrator that she was selling the e-cigarettes on campus.
“When (the coordinator) was searching Jones, I observed Jones fidgeting with a blue pad, then placed it back into her backpack,” wrote Officer Rodriguez. “Due to Jones’ age (18) and the fact she was in a drug-free zone (school property) and in possession of nicotine e-cigarettes, I completed a probable cause search of (Jones’) backpack.
“I checked the pad and located a clear baggy containing five additional, individually packaged, circular pills of different colors and one pink, cross-shaped pill. Through police training, experience and numerous narcotic-related arrests, I believed the pills to be ecstasy. The Beaumont Narcotics Division has advised us (to) charge ecstasy as methamphetamine, due to numerous lab returns testing positive for methamphetamine.”
Officers then placed Jones under arrest. As of press time, Jones’ name did not appear on the Jefferson County inmate roster.
