JOHNSON COUNTY, Ga. - A 23-year-old man was arrested last week in Douglas on charges that he sent sexually explicit content to a 13-year-old girl through Snapchat, according to the Johnson County Sheriff's Office.
What we know
Jose Quinones was taken into custody on April 16 by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force and is now being held at the Danny Elbert Detention Center in Johnson County. He faces two felony charges: one count of electronically furnishing obscene material to a minor and one count of enticing a child for indecent purposes.
The charges stem from an investigation that began on Dec. 11, 2024, when Johnson County investigators received a tip regarding inappropriate communication with a minor. According to the Sheriff's Office, Quinones contacted the victim via Snapchat between November and December 2024 and sent sexually explicit photos and videos while also requesting explicit content in return.
Following a months-long investigation by the Criminal Investigation Division, authorities gathered enough evidence to secure arrest warrants for Quinones.

The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information related to the case is encouraged to contact Investigator Troy Fallin at 478-864-4003.

$10K tactical robot purchase discovery leads to answers from Sheriff's Office
ST. LOUIS – From an alleged secret luxury vehicle to the latest FOX 2 discovery of new tactical robots, the St. Louis Sheriff's Office is now breaking its silence with the media. 'That's kind of an inexpensive way to take a small shot at a big problem,' retired judge David Mason said in response to our latest findings. Mason recently left 34 years as a circuit court judge to join the St. Louis Sheriff's Office as its lawyer. Missouri statute only allows him to be paid $15,000 a year for the job, which Mason said is proof he's only representing Sheriff Alfred Montgomery because he wants to. 'He's young, but he has a lot of vision about what he wants to do,' Mason said of Sheriff Montgomery. He agreed to talk on behalf of the Sheriff to answer FOX 2's latest discovery of two tactical robots that cost a combined $10k. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now The office showed us one of them in action. 'It's a stopgap immediate measure for a big security problem,' Mason said. We've seen cases of courtroom violence because Mason said other courthouses have cameras everywhere, but not in St. Louis. 'We know that if somebody wants to take over a courtroom,' the retired judge said, '…we don't know what's going on in there.' He says the roving remote robot could be the eyes to help court security respond to a threat. 'Security is job one,' Mason said. He also agreed to address the new Chevy Tahoe we revealed on FOX 2 Thursday: 'Historically, the car for the Sheriff has been purchased from that budget, and that's what this Sheriff did.' Mason said funds were used that don't impact taxpayers; rather, he said they came from a pot of fees collected from things like the office's process serving. He said the vehicle will be Sheriff Montgomery's take-home car, adding, 'There's always a car available to make sure business is done and that's really what it comes down to.' Mason said more changes are coming. He also promised the Sheriff's Office will be more open about those changes – as we continue following decisions that impact the public.

Second suspect arrested for planning Pontiac mass shooting, sheriff says
The Brief A second suspect was arrested Friday for allegedly planning a mass shooting at a Pontiac high school graduation. Jamarion Hardiman and a 19-year-old co-conspirator allegedly hid two loaded firearms with 80 rounds of ammunition under vehicles at the venue. The plot was uncovered after a fight at the ceremony and a tip about a Snapchat threat, though a motive is not yet known. PONTIAC, Mich. (FOX 2) - Just a few hours after announcing a suspect was wanted for planning a mass shooting at a Pontiac high school, the sheriff announced their suspect was taken into custody. Jamarion Jaryante Hardiman was arrested on Friday, within hours of being identified as a suspect wanted for planning a mass shooting at a high school graduation ceremony in Pontiac. Sheriff Michael Bouchard had announced the charges during a noon press conference. By 4 p.m., the sheriff said Hardiman was in custody. What we know The two suspects were arrested after authorities said they planted weapons under vehicles at the graduation ceremony for a Pontiac school at United Wholesale Mortgage's sports complex. A 19-year-old has also been arrested, but has not been arraigned yet. Both men allegedly placed packages under vehicles at the venue, which were later discovered to obtain two firearms containing 80 rounds of ammunition between them. Neither suspect is enrolled at the school, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said Friday. Sheriff deputies were first dispatched to the venue after a fight broke out between individuals at the ceremony. Working with security at the venue, a preliminary investigation by police uncovered a larger plot. An individual approached police about information from a family member that a Snapchat message previously seen included a threat to shoot up the ceremony. "In our business, we call that a clue," Bouchard said. The details were relayed to police who later found packages underneath vehicles, each containing loaded weapons. One was an AR-style pistol with a round drum that included 40 rounds of ammunition. The second weapon was a semi-automatic Glock handgun with a stick magazine, also containing 40 rounds of ammunition. Both were unregistered. What we don't know Police did not identify the 19-year-old suspect currently in police custody. Bouchard was asked about a motive behind the planned attack, but only said that people "are quick to violence these days." "For whatever reason, they think is the solution, whether it's to go shoot up a school or house of worship, it's hard to figure out what a motive is these days," he said. The Source The Oakland County Sheriff announced the details of this case during an update on Friday.

Judge detains Streamwood man charged in slaying of his sisters
Just before 7 p.m. May 28, Janiya Jenkins returned from work to her Streamwood home where her 10-year-old sister played a video game and her 7-year-old brother rode a scooter around in the parking lot. Shortly after, the placid family evening was interrupted when, prosecutors alleged, Jenkins' brother, Jalonie, stabbed her so brutally that her trachea was split in half. Jalonie Jenkins, 25, is charged with two counts of murder, accused of killing his sisters, Janiya Jenkins, 21, and Eyani Jones, 10, in their home in the 1600 block of McKool Avenue of the northwest suburb. A judge ordered him detained Friday after he appeared in court in Rolling Meadows. The judge also ordered that Jenkins be evaluated by a health care professional because he reported he is hearing voices and having dissociative feelings. In arguing to keep Jenkins in jail while awaiting trial, Cook County prosecutors in a proffer to the court offered new details about the bloody attack that was witnessed by Janiya Jenkins' 3-year-old daughter and her 7-year-old brother. It was also overheard by a friend of Eyani's who was on a call on the social media app Snapchat while the two played the video game together. Through the app, Eyani's friend heard screaming, along with Jenkins' 3-year-old 'telling her mom to get up and asking why she was on the floor,' according to the proffer. She also heard Janiya Jenkins begging the defendant to not kill the kids, prosecutors said. The call abruptly cut off after Eyani screamed for her to call 911, the proffer said. She asked her mother to check on the family. The 7-year-old who was scootering outside came in and saw blood coming down the stairs, the proffer said. Janiya Jenkins told him to grab her daughter and leave. Jalonie Jenkins then pushed the boy down the stairs, the proffer alleged, and put him and the 3-year-old in a bathroom. A surveillance camera captured Jalonie Jenkins grabbing bags and the family dog and leaving the house, according to the proffer. After about 20 minutes, the proffer said, the boy left the bathroom and tried to perform CPR on his sisters. He dressed his niece in pants and shoes and went to knock on a neighbor's door for help. Through license plate cameras, police saw that Jalonie Jenkins drove to a Bensenville park. He tried to sell his car to people who declined, the proffer said. Later, he was arrested by Downers Grove police and admitted to killing his sisters, the proffer said. His next court date is June 26.
