Also detained during the sweep was well-known footballer Floyd Jones who says he was at the barbershop inside the family yard when he, too, was taken into custody.  According to Jones, the arresting officers insisted that a photograph of himself be taken, along with his fingerprints, despite not being charged for a criminal offense.
