U.S. marshals are looking for a nightclub promoter who violated parole on charges that he beat and stabbed a customer and left him for dead.

Forty-year-old Jermi Jones was paroled in 2004 after serving six months of a five-year sentence, but he disappeared last year and an arrest warrant was issued for him in October. Marshals said Jones has a rap sheet for violent crimes that extends from the D.C. area to Michigan.
