A routine traffic stop in Independence leads to a warrant arrest with felony charges added.

A Montgomery County Sheriff's deputy pulled over a red minivan for expired registration. A man, later identified as Travis Jones, was in the front passenger seat not wearing his seatbelt and trying to hide his face. The passenger provided a fake name and date of birth to the deputy but was identified by another deputy.

Jones had several warrants in the county and as the deputies attempted to take him into custody he spit in one of their faces. After a brief struggle, Jones was placed in the back of the patrol vehicle where he started kicking the windows and doors. Upon arrival at the Department of Correction, jail personnel found MDMA on Jones. In addition to the 7 arrest warrants, Jones was booked for felony interference, aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, trafficking contraband into a correction facility and possession.
