AIKEN, S.C. (AP) -- A judge has denied bond for the man charged with shooting an Aiken police officer to death.
A magistrate on Monday ordered that 26-year-old Joshua Tremaine Jones remain jailed on a murder charge. Bond was set at $10,000 on a weapons charge, and the judge scheduled Jones' next hearing for March 9.
Jones was arrested after police said he shot an officer responding to a report of suspicious activity. Master Cpl. Sandra Rogers died at a hospital Saturday. She had been with the Aiken Public Safety department for nearly 28 years.
Police say Jones had killed his girlfriend, 21-year-old Cayce Vice, in her Augusta, Ga., apartment, and then fatally shot Rogers.
Jones' father has said his son has mental problems.
