Former JonBenet suspect jailed
John Mark Karr, who made what turned out to be bogus claims of killing JonBenet Ramsey, was jailed after a domestic argument at his father’s house in suburban Atlanta.
He was arrested on charges of battery and obstruction after officers received a 911 call from the Sandy Springs house about an argument among Karr, his girlfriend and his father. Officers took Karr to a hospital after he complained of chest pains, then took him to jail.
Last summer, Karr was arrested in Thailand in the 6-year-old beauty contestant’s death.
