College Station police announced Thursday evening a third felony charge against the man involved in a 16 hour standoff at Rockies Grill and Saloon.
According to online jail records, 38 year old Michael Blake Jones is being held without bond on a charge of aggravated assault of a public servant.
Quoting a CSPD news release issued earlier this week, “Several times, Mr. Jones exited the door of the business with a handgun in his hand or tucked in his waistband. Countless times, officers gave Mr. Jones commands to drop his weapon and surrender his position, although he refused to comply. At one point during the extended negotiation, Mr. Jones exited the front door of the business and raised his firearm, pointing it in the direction of numerous members of law enforcement who were staged in the area. Fearing for the life and safety of law enforcement personnel, an FBI Agent assisting CSPD, fired one round, but did not strike him.”
Jones is also held on charges of continuous family violence against a former girlfriend and felony criminal mischief for damaging a CSPD robot. Bonds were set at $250,000 dollars on each of those charges.
