The victim said he tried to intervene in the fight, and Jones reached for the victim\u2019s work knife and screwdriver; another co-worker tried to stop Jones from grabbing the victim\u2019s knife, but Jones allegedly grabbed it and cut the victim\u2019s back several times. <\/p>\n<p>Jones has been charged with aggravated battery and robbery by sudden snatching. He told Court Services that he has been in the area for about two months; he has 13 felony convictions (three violent) and eight misdemeanor convictions (four violent), and he has served six state prison sentences, with his most recent release in 2021.
