Douglas A. Jones, 45, of 532 Marshburn Road, told police he was driving north on Marshburn Road when he stopped to tell three people to get out of the road.

One of the pedestrians threw a rock at Jones’ truck, he told police. Jones then stepped on the gas and drove his truck through the front door of a home at 545 Marshburn Road.

Police reports say Jones backed his truck up and drove it into the house again, knocking down a wall that struck two people inside the house.

They recieved only minor injuries and were not taken to the hospital.

Jones then got out of his truck and got in a fight with Dejsha Montague, who lives in the house that was struck. Anthony Montague, who also lives at 545 Marshburn Road, pulled a knife and swung it at Jones, who retreated to his house.

Dilbra Brewington, who lives at the home, said Jones uttered racial epithets at the people in the road when the incident started.

Officer Roy Holloway responded to the scene and saw Jones’ truck, which appeared to have been driven onto the porch and about six feet into the living room of Brewington’s house.

Holloway searched Jones’ truck and found a pistol behind the seat and a knife in the driver’s side door.

Jones was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, ethnic intimidation, simple assault, damage to real property and carrying a concealed weapon.
