Personal life

On June 23, 2020, a dog, Remington, escaped from his enclosure. Daisy Parkins, one of the dog's owners, was searching for him as it was their young son's birthday and this dog was his favorite. The dog had wandered onto Lone's property and was standing outside Lone's goat pen barking at his dairy goats. Parkins was driving around the neighborhood and waved at Lone as he was arriving home. A short time later, Lone noticed the dog barking at his goats and shot and killed the dog. Afterward, he assembled a party of four other men and went to the Parkins' house to tell the owners that he had shot their dog for barking at his goats. To conclude the meeting with Parkins, Lone winked at her.
