Jags wide receiver and noted white athlete on drugs Matt Jones was arrested yesterday for violating terms of his drug treatment program. Jones tested positive for alcohol, violating the terms of the probation to which he agreed after being arrested for possession last July.
Terms of Jones’ drug treatment program call for participants to abstain from drugs and alcohol, and individuals are tested randomly for the substances. Positive results from Jones’ alcohol test came in late last week, and he appeared in court Monday to face Judge Mary Ann Gunn, who presides over the drug court, about the positive result.[...]
Jones’ entrance into the Washington County Drug Court stems from an incident last July in which Fayetteville police arrested the former first-round draft pick after seeing him inside a parked car allegedly cutting up cocaine with a Foot Locker discount card.
Jones had the choice of spending ten days in jail or six weeks in rehab. He chose jail, meaning that that Foot Locker card got him 75% time off. it’s a crafty move, really. It’s so much tougher to get laid in rehab.

Matt Jones has been an unequivocal failure at receiver, even for the standards of a white receiver, since the Jaguars drafted the 6' 6" former Arkansas QB with their first-round pick in 2005. So if you can't hack playing well right, you might as well be a spectacular failure. Jones took an important stride towards that goal yesterday as he got arrested for cocaine possession.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office says officers arrested Jones and two other men as they sat in a Toyota 4Runner in an unlit parking lot in a known drug area.
The preliminary arrest report shows an officer saw Jones sitting in the back seat of the car with a white card with a white powdery substance on it, and a credit card in his other hand.
The officer said he opened the door and asked Jones to "put his hands where he could see them."
Authorities say Jones didn't comply right away and hid his left hand. The officer drew his gun and ordered Jones out of the vehicle. Jones got out and the officer put him in handcuffs.
A second officer placed the other two men under arrest. They're identified as Benjamin Cook, 26, and Jared Hicks, 25.
Uh-oh, Matt Jones is back liked cooked crack! Or is that back with Cook's coke? Either way, doing white powder off a white card, huh? At least Jones was trying to make his drug taking both stupid and difficult. Just the kind of versatility he shows in the pros by displaying ideal size and race-appropriate suckage.
