The crimes appeared to be completely random, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Several of the attacks were caught on surveillance video, including a March 28 crime in the 2000 block of Camden Avenue in West Los Angeles in which a brick was thrown through a vehicle's windshield.
Police said other similar acts of vandalism were reported in the Venice, Mid-Wilshire, Woodland Hills, and Northeast neighborhoods of Los Angeles, as well as the cities of Culver City, Burbank, and Santa Monica.
Jones remained in custody in lieu of $120,000 bail. She faces up to 9 years and 8 months in prison if convicted as charged, prosecutors said.
