Brandon Jones is not innocent. The actor, whose "Pretty Little Liars" character Andrew Campbell was recently suspected for kidnapping the Liars, was charged on Thursday, April 14 with one felony for assault with gun after he allegedly pointed a handgun at a male neighbor during a dispute.
The alleged dispute took place on March 24 at his home in the North Hills neighborhood of San Fernando Valley. TMZ reports that Jones didn't actually fire the gun or strike the man with it, but pointed it at him, which constitutes an assault.
Jones also faces two counts for misdemeanors related to another incident at his home in October 2015. He allegedly exhibited a deadly weapon and exhibited a concealable firearm in public during an argument with a different neighbor.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges on Thursday. His bond was increased from $50,000 to $75,500, said a spokesman for the DA's office. He faces up to 5-and-a-half years in prison if convicted.
A rep for the 27-year-old actor says, "It is our understanding that the gun in Mr. Jones' possession was fully legal and registered, that he was on his girlfriend's private property, and that he and his girlfriend felt that they were under threat in a dispute with neighbors." The rep is confident that Jones will be exonerated.
