A former firefighter, injured in a crash, has died.

38-year old, Larry Jones, died last night at UK Hospital.

Jones crashed his motorcycle into the back of a truck on the Lawrenceburg Bypass, Wednesday.

Jones was a Paris firefighter, but lost his job after he was arrested for threatening to kill the Paris City Manager.

The charges were eventually dropped.

Visitation for Jones will be Tuesday, at the Lusk-McFarland Funeral Home, in Paris.

This funeral is Wednesday, at Central Baptist.

I think you owe that family an apology on the air that was low down reporting If a charge was dismissed in my book it didnt happen you dont need this to get someone to read a story

This is very inconsiderate for news team to include things of the past. Lets those throw the first stone that have not done something they regret saying or have done and sorry for. Red was a good man and firefighter who loved his job. It is a very sad time for the Paris Fire Department and his friends and family. News team does not need to add to this tragedy.God will hold his wife and precious sons and family in his arms during this difficult time.

I agree 100%% Shame on you WYMT . The reporter should have never included his recorded ( which was dropped).. I think they should have to print an apology to the family! I do believe that saying he was a former firefighter was a good idea. Because to me this headline reads " HERO losses his life" . I'm sure he saved peoples lives and homes. And now for him to be disgraced after his death is unthinkable!
