During his tenure, he presided over the series of bomb threats that interrupted the 1995-96 school year as well as a sex scandal in which at least eight students (including seven members of the PHS Tigers football team) received oral sex from a 15-year-old special education student in a stadium locker room. They were eventually charged with lewd and lascivious assault on a child under 16. Principal Jones, himself a former NFL football player, was accused of attempting to cover up the incident to protect the members of the playoff-bound football team.
