Former Customs and Border Protection Officer Supreme Jones, 32, was sentenced to five years’ probation for violating airport security requirements at the Baltimore Washington International/Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI).
Baltimore, Maryland – On April 5, 2023, U.S. District Judge Stephanie A. Gallagher sentenced Supreme Jones to five years’ probation after Jones pleaded guilty to two counts of entering an aircraft or airport security area in violation of security requirements.
According to court documents, from 2018 through 2022, Jones was an armed CBP officer assigned as a uniformed officer at the BWI. As a result of his duties, Jones was issued credentials authorizing him to go into any area of BWI, including the areas beyond the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security checkpoints, for the performance of his official duties.
In June 2021, the FBI began an investigation into complaints that Jones was abusing his authority by using his credential to enter secure areas when not performing official duties, specifically when flying for personal travel. The investigation revealed that Jones made more than 60 flights during a 14-month period, often entering the sterile area of BWI via the controlled exit portals when in civilian clothing by displaying his badge to the TSA Officer or TSO on duty at the exit portal.
As a result of his federal conviction, at least during his five-year term of probation, Jones will not be able to be employed in law enforcement.
Jones was arrested on June 26, 2022, as he was about to board a flight from BWI to Boston, Massachusetts. He was subsequently charged with two counts of entering an aircraft or airport security area in violation of security requirements.
