The District Attorney’s Office for the Brunswick Judicial Circuit today announced the conviction of Alexandrea Jones for one count of Aggravated Battery in Glynn County Superior Court. Jones will be sentenced at a hearing that will be held in June. Assistant District Attorney Kelvin Ansong and Assistant District Attorney Bryan Roy tried the case on behalf of the State over a period of two days.
On September 24, 2023, police officers responded to the Lanes and Games on New Jesup Highway in reference to a stabbing. When Officer Russell Dinkins with the Glynn County Police Department arrived, he observed the victim bleeding from the area of her mouth. The victim had organized a birthday party for her one-year-old child, and there were at least thirty people in the room, including family members of both the victim and the defendant’s family.
During the party, a fight broke out between the victim and the defendant during the party. During this physical altercation, the defendant used a sharp object to slice the victim’s face open from the right corner of her mouth up into her right cheek area. After almost a month of investigation, which included speaking to witnesses and reviewing surveillance videos from multiple angles, investigators with the Glynn County Police Department identified the defendant as the individual who was responsible for the crime.
At trial, the victim testified that she had uninvited the defendant and the defendant’s mother from her child’s birthday party because of their temperament. Since the child’s father, however, showed up at the birthday party, she did not want to make a scene when she saw his sister (the defendant) and her mother at the party. Nevertheless, after the defendant arrived, a physical altercation did occur.
The State’s lead law enforcement officer, Sargeant Justin Floyd, with the Glynn County Police Department testified about the lengthy investigation that resulted in the identification of the defendant. Additionally, the State presented evidence in the form of photos and video surveillance footage that showed the defendant was engaged with the victim during the entire time of the altercation.
The District Attorney’s Office would like to thank the Glynn County Police Department, Sargeant Justin Floyd, Officer Russell Dinkins, and all other law enforcement officers for their tremendous work on this case.
