FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Matt Jones faces a felony drug charge in his former college town after police say he was inside a car cutting up cocaine with a credit card.
The 25-year-old Jones and two others were arrested early Thursday. A police report said officers approached the car and an officer drew his handgun after Jones did not immediately show his hands. Police said they searched the vehicle and found a plastic bag filled with a white substance that tested positive for cocaine and a jar with possible marijuana residue. Jared Hicks and Benjamin Cook were also arrested on misdemeanor drug charges. Jones will be arraigned Friday on a charge of felony possession of a controlled substance. Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver said he was waiting to learn details of the case. "We're trying to investigate that now," Weaver said. "We don't have all the facts. We will comment on that once we have all the facts." Jones, a star quarterback at Arkansas and a first-round pick in 2005, failed to develop into the go-to receiver Jacksonville thought he could be. Last season, coach Jack Del Rio became increasingly frustrated with Jones' demeanor and work ethic, making him inactive for three games. In the offseason, the Jaguars signed free agent Jerry Porter and traded for former first-round pick Troy Williamson. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8331410/Jones-arrest...n-felony-drug-charge |

What's so different about it??[/QUOTE ------------------------------------------------ White NFL player, trouble and drug arrest reported by the media as a sports story. Kinda rare (based on the last two years of negative African American NFL player's portrayals & issues with the law) and unusual to me. Not uncommon (they do dirt too), just unusual to hear about a White guy. |

The question is will Faux News and CNN will blow this up like they did with Michael Vick, Pacman Jones, etc.? "There are two things that are infinite, human stupidity and the universe...and I'm not too sure about the universe." --Albert Einstein |

It will be "different" if he gets convicted and suspended by the NFL...
How ironic is it that his last name is... Jones... LOL Peace, AudioGuy ************************************************* "I am African, not because I was born in Africa; but because Africa was born in me" -Anonymous "The cost of Liberty is less than the cost of repression." -W.E.B. DuBois, John Brown 1909 "... can you imagine Doobie in yo' funk??!!" -G. Clinton Sense is far from COMMON! ... The tragic irony here is that a lot of African Americans may not fully recognize the implications of this decision for years to come. Stop by any barbershop, barbeque or church basement in Black America and you will hear – with distressing frequency – that old canard that "integration" ruined the Black community.

This guy is a benchwarmer. That's why it is under reported. I betcha it ain't underreported where it went down. I betcha it ain't being underreported where he plays either. Nationally, though, there is no story. |

Umm, they can only get parole if they had been in prison. |

You're right. The truth never fails. I'm glad you are beginning to see the light. |
