Police say a postal carrier notified authorities after seeing smoke coming from Jones' home on Nov. 2. Once there, firefighters discovered Jones dead in the kitchen.

According to court records, Neay told police that he confronted Jones because he thought Jones had assaulted his mother. A local newspaper reports that Neay's mother had filed for an emergency protective order against Marty Jones on Oct. 29.

The medical examiner says Jones died from multiple sharp force injuries.

Neay remains jailed and court records do not list an attorney for him.
