Stolen electronics were found inside the men's vehicle, according to investigators
Jones is charged with burglary of a habitation. He also faces a charge of possession of a controlled substance after authorities found him with Xanax. Both charges carry a combined bond of $25,000.
Whitney, 40, is charged with burglary of a habitation. He is being held on $20,000 bond.
"The quick thinking on the part of our complainant to lock herself in a secure area and dial 911, and the rapid response from deputies, made these arrests possible," Assistant Chief Mark Herman said.
