COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Two elderly people were charged with misdemeanors after authorities say a 73-year-old man performed oral sex on a 63-year-old woman on Wednesday afternoon at Flat Branch Park in Columbia.

R D Jones, 73, of Columbia, was charged with first-degree sexual misconduct and illegal drug possession, while Diana Kay Jackson, 63, of Columbia, was charged with first-degree sexual misconduct. Both are being held at the Boone County Jail on $5,000 bonds. Court dates have not been scheduled.

Police in the probable cause statement described “society” as being the victim in the case.  

Dispatch received multiple calls about a man performing oral sex on a woman at Flat Branch Park and that “families” saw it occur, the statement says. The act was apparently in view from the splash pad at the park, police wrote

Someone described as an employee of a redacted employer walked up to the couple, the statement says. Jones allegedly raised his head up to look at the employee before going back to what he was doing, court documents allege.

Officers reported seeing Jackson without pants or underwear when they arrived, the statement says. Jackson allegedly said Jones was “only” performing oral sex, the statement says.

Jones was allegedly found with a pipe and small baggie with white residue that tested positive for methamphetamine, court documents say.

Jackson was told by police that she had been trespassed from all city property and she allegedly responded by saying that she would return to Douglass Park, court documents say.
