A 34-year-old member of a criminal street gang was arrested Monday at a home in Bethlehem after a search turned up a loaded weapon and some marijuana.

Barrow County sheriff’s deputies arrested Kenneth Lavon Jones at 416 Wilshire Lane in Bethlehem and charged him with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, and parole violation.

Jones allegedly claims to be a member of the Gangster Disciples, which began in Chicago and has been active in Georgia for more than a decade.
