Events of the Game
Jones was introduced to us in the very beginning of the game.

In Case #22, Jones bought a deer clock from Desmond Galloway's Antique Shop, which costed him his whole salary: $1200. Then in Case #24, he bought a bear rug to go with his deer clock from Mortimer Mutlog, a taxidermist.

In Case #26, Jones revealed that ever since he was a kid, he always felt uncomfortable whenever he goes to the local Grimsborough library. In that very case, it is discovered that Jones' full name is David Jones (click  to see a photo). It is also discovered that the librarian, Constance Bell, knew Jones since he was a young boy and didn't like him for some reason (maybe because Jones never returned her library's books early). For example, when the team went to search her library for the first time, she ordered Jones not to touch any of her books.

In Case #31, Margaret Littlewood (an old lady who had participated in the annual Dog Pageant competition with her dog, Astrid) poisoned Jones so that she would not get caught and arrested for the murder of another participant, Molly Robinson. Margaret had poisoned Jones when the team went to give her back the Astrid's ribbon. Just then, She gave Jones to eat one of her cupcakes which was mixed with poison. Jones happily ate it and as a result, he became extremely sick by the end of Chapter 2 and couldn't do further investigations. He was then replaced by Ramirez, an officer of the GPD.

After being arrested, Margaret handed the police the antidote to her poison which then recovered Jones. She also asked the police to give Jones her secret book of recipes, and her dog, Astrid, so that he could take care of it and enter the Dog Pageant competition with it. Jones then took part in the competition with Astrid and surprisingly won.

In Case #39, it is revealed that there was a funny page of Jones called "Oh My Jones" in Friendnet. It had more than 1,000 hearts (a parody of "likes") and there, members published funny pictures of Jones to have a laugh at him.

In Case #48, the citizens of Maple Heights filed complaints against Jones for being rude to them. Chief Samuel King also said that the case was too serious for him. As a result, Jones was replaced by Grace.

Personal Life
Jones is a senior police officer whose salary is $1200 per month.

Jones is divorced. After the killer was arrested in Death by Crucifixion (Case #7), he told the player that his ex-wife wanted him to see a psychologist because of the stress being a police officer caused. His ex-wife's name was Charlotte and they got divorced because she couldn't handle the risk his job entailed.

Jones hates chain smokers and sewers, as claimed by himself in Case #3 and Case #5 respectively. He also dislikes Bart Willams, Tony Marconi and Dimitri Balanchine. Jones loves country music and cupcakes, and his great weakness are cookies. He is also allergic to compost.

Jones once told his partner that he worked in a luxury restaurant when he was a student. It is also known that Jones is interested in magic. He wanted to be a magician when he was younger but couldn't become one. He was also interested in becoming a firefighter when he was a kid.

Jones may have practised S&M in his past. In A Deadly Game (Case #20), Jezabela seems to recall a time in which they spent together. For some reason, Jones was not eager to tell this story or explain why he knew Jezabela and her club.

Jones may be afraid of cats. In To Die or Not to Die (Case #22), Jones kept calling cats "evil" after the analyses that were related to animals.

Jones loved playing in greenhouses when he was a kid as told by him after finding a pile of flowers in The Final Journey (Case #23). He also wanted a pink bedroom when he was a kid as told by him after investigating Sarah Mills' bedroom in An Elementary Murder (Case #40).

In Case #29, after learning about the murder of the chief of the Grimsborough scouts, Connor Sullivan, Jones mentioned that he used to be a scout when he was a kid, and says that these kinds of things would never happen back in his days and that things were much simpler at that time.
