San Rafael, CA – On Wednesday night, Willie Jessie Clinton-Jones, a 44-year-old San Rafael resident, was arrested by SRPD officers after attacking and stalking at least three victims in San Rafael’s Downtown area.  Clinton-Jones is known to SRPD for several arrests involving dangerous and indecent criminal acts.  Clinton-Jones is a sex offender who is currently on CDCR parole.  Clinton-Jones was booked into the Marin County Jail for felony stalking and violating the terms of his CDCR parole.

Starting just after 9:00 PM, SRPD began receiving reports of Clinton-Jones following, crudely gesturing, and stalking three separate female victims.  The incidents occurred along Second Street, B Street, and C Street in San Rafael.  Clinton-Jones was located and detained within 45 minutes of the first call. 

During the investigation, officers learned that Clinton-Jones followed and harassed a victim in a local grocery store.  Clinton-Jones then left the store.  In a second incident, Clinton-Jones began to harass and then chase a victim for several city blocks.  Fortunately, the victim got another person’s attention, and Clinton-Jones fled the area.  In a third incident, a victim reported that Clinton-Jones followed her while gesturing at his groin area.  Clinton-Jones followed the female victim to a residence and then fled when the victim’s spouse appeared.  Obviously, all three victims were traumatized by Clinton-Jones’ dangerous and lewd behavior.  

During a want and warrants check, it was learned that Clinton-Jones had just been released from jail about 24 hours prior after being arrested and booked for being under the influence of drugs and a parole violation.  

In this case, officers arrested and booked Clinton-Jones into the Marin County Jail for felony stalking and violating the terms of his parole.  Clinton-Jones is currently being held without bail due to a CDCR parole hold.
