Officers responded to Harvard Station around 4:20 p.m. on July 6 after someone reported the atypical behavior, police said Friday.

But the 22-year-old became uncooperative, according to the Transit Police Department. Officers then discovered there was an active warrant for his arrest. Jones was wanted in Roxbury for charges of assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon and assault and battery.
Officers placed Jones under arrest, taking him -- and his entertainment set up -- to Transit Police Headquarters where he was booked. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney.
