personal car stolen yesterday shortly after 8:30am.\u00a0 He said it had been parked near the corner of North Rampart and Toulouse Streets, but that he had managed to find it later- near the intersection of Iberville and Marais Streets, and saw that it had been severely damaged.\u00a0 A First District officer who was filing the report for Jones picked up on discrepancies in Jones\u2019 story, and immediately contacted the Public Integrity Bureau (PIB).<\/p><p>PIB Criminal Squad detectives quickly obtained evidence that discredited Jones\u2019 claim that someone had stolen his car and subsequently wrecked it.<\/p><p>Today, PIB detectives approached Jones and he agreed to give a Criminal Statement.\u00a0 Once investigators advised him of his Miranda Rights, Jones confessed to committing a hit-and-run, relocating his vehicle to Iberville and Marais Streets and then filing a false police report.\u00a0 He then tendered his resignation, was placed under arrest and booked with Hit-and-Run and Filing or Maintaining False Public Records.<\/p><p>Jones had been administratively reassigned in the Eighth District pending the outcome of another PIB investigation.\u00a0 He had been with the NOPD for 15 years.<\/p><p>\u201cSomeone who confesses to breaking the law, and then trying to cover it up, is someone who does not have a place on today\u2019s New Orleans Police force\u201d,

she picked up on discrepancies in this fellow officer\u2019s story.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cWe take the departmental oath very seriously, and Jones\u2019 behavior clearly violated our code of ethics.
