FOND DU LAC COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – Bond has been set at $1-million dollars for a 32-year-old Fond du Lac man charged in a November shooting.
Antino Jones reportedly shot a man in the abdomen after the two got into an argument at a bar.
Court records indicate that Jones pointed a gun at the victim, but it wouldn’t fire. He then reportedly chased down the victim, firing three times.
Jones claims that he was responding to being hit with a baseball bat and being called racial slurs.
He allegedly admitted to firing ‘two or three rounds’ from his firearm and for carrying a gun for protection, despite being prohibited from doing so as a convicted felon.
Jones faces felony charges of Attempted First Degree Intentional Homicide (x2), First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety (x3), Possession of a Firearm as a Convicted Felon (x2), First Degree Reckless Injury, Aggravated Battery with the Intent of Causing Great Bodily Harm, and Endangering Safety through the Reckless Use of a Firearm, as well as misdemeanor counts of Resisting/Obstructing an Officer and Discharging a Firearm Within 100 Yards of a Building.
A preliminary hearing has been set for January 18.
