Scott Jones

A Jefferson County man is charged with manslaughter after police say his gun accidentally went off in a Jack in the Box drive-thru. Kyle Walters, 25, of Dittmer, was charged with first-degree involuntary manslaughter Tuesday in the March 5 death of 22-year-old Scott Jones. Desloge police say in court documents that Walters, Jones and two others were in a car waiting for their food in the drive-thru at 1208 North Desloge Drive. Walters told police he was in possession of a 9mm handgun when it discharged, hitting Jones in the back, according to court documents. Walter's bond was set at $50,000. He pleaded not guilty Tuesday in the case.
