City Lodge Murderer up for Parole

 

Before it was Eugene Sak's baby, the now desolate white elephant on Court Street in Florence was the scene of a brutal murder in 2013. While dubbed the City Lodge (one of its many incarnations), a career felon took a down on her luck woman to the aging motel where he strangled her and shoved her body under the bed.

The man charged with the death of 54 year-old Lula Teresa Addison had already served four prison sentences when he was arrested, having one robbery conviction and three for burglary. Eugene Lee Jones is currently serving a life sentence as a habitual offender, but is eligible for parole.

The 68 year-old Jones is housed in the Hamilton Work Release facility and will have a parole hearing scheduled on or after July 1st - just over four weeks from now. It's doubtful Jones will win release, but for those who wish to make sure he is never free to hurt anyone else, the parole board can be reached here:
