ANOTHER ARREST FOR MATT JONES

Just as the “Days without an Arrest Meters” was hours away from getting back to double digits, Jaguars receiver Matt Jones has been arrested, again.

A reader has forwarded to us this link to the Washington County, Arkansas Sheriff’s office, which shows that a man named Matt Jones, a 25-year-old white male with brown hair and blue who stands six feet and five inches from the ground and weighs 205 pounds and having an address in Jacksonville, Florida, was arrested at 6:21 p.m. CDT for possession of a controlled substance.

Jones is listed on the Jags’ official web site as 6-6 and 216 pounds. He’s also 25.

We suppose there’s a chance that it’s not the same Matt Jones as the one from Arkansas who plays for the Jacksonville Jaguars, especially since a mug shot as of this posting has not yet been posted with the arrest information.

If it is Jones, he could be in big trouble with the NFL, and the law. Last year, he was arrested for felony cocaine possession, but agreed to enter a diversion program, which among other things requires him to stay out of trouble.

He also was suspended three games by the NFL.

So if the Matt Jones from Arkansas who plays for the Jags is the same Matt Jones of identical age and similar dimensions and Jacksonville address who was arrested within the past half hours in Arkansas, he’s got a big problem.

UPDATE: The mugshot is now posted. Yep, it’s him.

SECOND UPDATE: Jones also apparently is charged with violating the terms of his probation.

Wow. This guy is done.

Out of the league by next year, if he even makes it that far.

good riddance, dumbass.. I hope that high was worth your career and living

 

[Giantmetfan07]

hes not out of the league yet. This isnt that big of a deal. He might get a small suspension.

 

[wade3]

Who? Lol

 

[jarrod2323]

he already got a small suspension last time - this one will most likely cost him a full year

 

[Giantmetfan07]

I dont think so, pretty much after comparing the previous offense to this one I dont think this warrants a 1 year suspension.

What a moron.

I saw a mini-documentary on him the year after he was drafted. Small-town kid, big-time athlete, and was the pride of Arkansas at one point.

I was shocked to find out that this "blue-collar" kid would end up snorting coke off the dashboard of a honda civic.

:headsmack: He not only violated the terms of his parole (which means he could be off to the Big House), but he's also violated terms of his "parole" with the NFL. This guy is getting at least 8 games....and a trip to County lock-up.

When you get busted with cocaine, getting arrested again less than six months later is not something a JUDGE is going to just slide under the rug.

I was surprised a former Heisman Trophy Winner, movie star, and celebrity spokesman would cut off his wife's head too. Matt Jones doing coke is not something high on my list of "athlete shocking behavior."

 

[jarrod2323]

And the Jags cut him today

Claims that he was just drinking beer while golfing with buddies.

Sounds pretty harmless...unless your on parole & on your last sheet on ice.
