Jones proceeded to confront the worker regarding a rumor that he had bought a meth pipe from the store and stated he would have the place raided if he heard it again.
"I am the law in this town, and I can promise you, if I hear my name brought up in any conversation, or [if I get] a rumor about meth pipes or oil burn pipes ... if I hear that one more time, I will have this place raided upon like you'd not believe," Jones can be heard saying in the video.
He proceeds to continue with threats and profanity, stating that the rumors need to stop.
"Y'all are f*****g with the wrong person ... that owner, he better watch his Ps and Qs and everybody that works here. Y'all are on the radar now, don't f**k with me," he said in the video.
