New Details Emerge On Accused Jayme Closs Abductor Jake Patterson

BARRON COUNTY, WI -- New details are emerging about Jake Patterson, the 21-year-old Wisconsin man accused in the shooting deaths of Jayme Closs' parents and her subsequent abduction.

Patterson is currently being held in the Polk County Jail on a $5 million cash bond, and is awaiting his preliminary hearing on Feb. 6. He was moved to the Polk County Jail from the Barron County Jail because one of Closs' relatives currently works at the Barron County Jail, according to a CBS report.

According to the report, we have learned that the U.S. The Marine Corps prematurely discharged Patterson in 2015 after about one month's service time.

A spokesperson with the Marines said it was "indicative of the fact that the character of his service was incongruent with Marine Corps' expectations and standards," according to the report.

According to an ABC report, Patrick Patterson, the father of Jake Patterson, tried reaching out to the Closs family earlier this week.

The report stated that Patrick Patterson attempted to pass a note along to Jayme's family via the Barron County Court system. Patterson, when questioned by a reporter, said, "All I care about right now is Jayme's family."
