WASHINGTON — On Friday, a jury found Quenton Jones guilty of arson, first-degree burglary, felony threats, felony destruction of property, and multiple counts of felony contempt.
According to evidence, on December 28, 2023, Jones threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend, after accusing her of cheating. On February 2, he called the victim multiple times and left voicemails that were in clear violation of a Stay Away, No Contact Order made against Jones.
The following day at 3 a.m. Jones went to the victim’s apartment, and wrote her name, phone number, and a list of sexual acts on her front door with a black marker. He left but returned a few hours later and set a piece of paper on fire and shoved it under her front door.
The door caught fire, forcing residents to evacuate the building. Jones was arrested that morning and has been in custody ever since. While in custody, Jones continued to call and write to the victim from D.C. Jail up until right before his trial.
Jones faces a maximum of life in prison, sentencing is scheduled for September 11.
