Registrant dies in Brevard County custody for FTR
20 years after Charles Jones’ underlying offense, he was arrested for a failure to register. While jailed in Brevard County he died after repeated pleas for medical attention went ignored.
Now, he paid dearly for a crime committed decades ago.

How nice of them to drop the charges after he died. This really makes me mad as hell. This could be anyone one of us at anytime over the slightest little thing.
Really…she just said at the end he’s been in Jail for a year for failure to register are you kidding me people are loosing everything for these 2nd punishment laws jail times means most offenders will loose everything they struggled to get already ….and when the court said already you didn’t have to if sanctions are not complete why isn’t everyone retroactively released until they can reword the new punishment?
Heartbreaking for the family. The state of Florida is barbaric.
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey is one of those “lock em up and toss the key” types. I hope the family of the deceased can get some justice
Channel 9 couldn’t resist the chance to smear Mr. Jones for his decades old crime. Their only concern seems that taxpayers will have to pay for a lawsuit, on top of blah, blah, blah. Channel 9 also thinks registration is probation, stating he had a VOP.
Floriduh has no intention of ever reforming “justice.” It’s all lip service until all are treated equally under the law. No one should even be arrested for a FTR or VOP.
I hope Mr. Jones’ family sues not only Brevard County, but the quack medics’ parent company as well.
Sorry to hear for their loss, but slam the county, state, and tax payers for all that you can.
