Jones posted on last week, “DeSantis, Rick Scott and Marco Rubio are looting my state. Imma shoot them,” according to the arrest report.
During an interview with detectives, Jones said she made the post as a joke.
“When I made the observation that there were no commonly used terminology to show the post was a joke, Jones stated that anyone who follows her knows her sense of humor,” a detective wrote in the arrest report.
Jones was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on Saturday on a $15,000 bond.
Jail records show she was released on Sunday.
Her public defender did not immediately respond to an email inquiry from the Associated Press on Tuesday morning.
