During the investigation, officers learned that Clinton-Jones followed and harassed a victim in a local grocery store. Clinton-Jones then left the store. In a second incident, Clinton-Jones began to harass and then chase a victim for several city blocks. Fortunately, the victim got another person’s attention, and Clinton-Jones fled the area. In a third incident, a victim reported that Clinton-Jones followed her while gesturing at his groin area.
