KISSIMMEE, FL — A 30-year-old former high school campus monitor was swarmed by deputies and arrested on John Young Parkway after allegedly returning to the school campus he was fired from just days prior.
Justice Williams Jones, of Vero Beach, was booked into the Osceola County Jail on a severe felony charge of Attempted Sexual Battery by an Adult (Over 24) on a Minor (16/17), alongside an additional charge of fleeing and eluding law enforcement.
Campus Complaints Trigger Probe
The investigation began on May 17, 2026, when the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office received a tip from a concerned parent of a student at Liberty High School. A responding deputy launched an initial inquiry into explicit, highly inappropriate digital messages sent between the student and Jones, who was employed as a campus monitor.
As deputies interviewed students on campus, they uncovered a second juvenile victim who reported that Jones had also verbally propositioned them inside the school.
School district records indicate that Jones had already been terminated from Osceola County Public Schools on May 15 for an unrelated administrative issue, after which he left the area and returned to his permanent residence in Vero Beach.
High-Speed Flight and Traffic Takedown
The case escalated rapidly yesterday when school security staff spotted Jones’s vehicle returning to the Liberty High School parking lot.
Deputies approached the stationary vehicle to execute an active felony arrest warrant. Jones immediately put the car in gear, accelerated past the units, and fled the campus. Patrol vehicles initiated a pursuit as Jones fled northbound.
The chase came to an abrupt end on John Young Parkway when Jones became trapped in heavy gridlock traffic. Deputies quickly used the congestion to surround and box in the vehicle, extracting Jones and taking him into custody without further incident.
Confession and Ongoing Appeal
During post-arrest interviews at police headquarters, Jones reportedly provided a full confession to detectives, admitting both to fleeing from the traffic stop and to engaging in inappropriate physical and digital contact with multiple students at Liberty High School.
Due to the suspect’s role as a position of authority on campus, OCSO School Safety Detectives express concern that there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward.
The Sheriff’s Office urges any current or former Liberty High School students who experienced unwanted or inappropriate interactions with Jones to contact their department immediately.
