Zakoyia Alexius Jones, 17, of Paris, was arrested at her residence in the 700-block of Bonham St at 10:28 Tuesday morning.

After receiving the box, the victim was contacted and advised that they owed a handling fee. They reached the victim later and told him they had broken the law and officials had fined them $145,000. The victim withdrew money from their bank account and wired the money to the given address. The incident is under investigation.
