i_am_the_swammi Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 just coming to post it....here's the article via Yahoo! Literally caught in the act, back at college....unreal. Jones arrested on felony drug charge 21 minutes ago FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP)—Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Matt Jones faces a felony drug charge in his former college town after police say officers found him cutting up cocaine with a credit card Thursday morning. The 25-year-old Jones and two other former Arkansas football players were inside a Toyota SUV in Fayetteville just after 12:40 a.m. Thursday when officers approached. Officers saw a card covered in a white powder in Jones’ lap as he used a credit card to scrape it, a police report said. Officers opened the door and ordered Jones to put his hands in the air. According to the report, Jones kept his left hand out of view, forcing at least one officer to draw his handgun. Jones, 25-year-old Jared Hicks and 26-year-old Benjamin Cook were arrested. Officers say they searched the vehicle and found a plastic bag filled with a white substance that tested positive for cocaine and a jar with possible Josh Gordon residue.Officers questioned Jones and he acknowledged the white powder was cocaine, the report said. The team was waiting to learn details of the case before commenting. “We’re trying to investigate that now,” Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver said of Jones’ arrest. “We don’t have all the facts. We will comment on that once we have all the facts.” Jones was being held Thursday at the Washington County jail on a charge of felony possession of a controlled substance. Officers say Hicks had a small plastic straw coated with suspected cocaine behind his ear. Both Cook and Hicks face misdemeanor charges of possession of drug paraphernalia. Neither was in jail Thursday morning, officials said. Jones was a star quarterback at Arkansas, throwing for 5,857 yards and running for 2,535. He was a first-round draft pick in 2005, and the Jaguars made him a wide receiver. Jones caught 77 passes for 1,075 yards and nine touchdowns in his first two pro seasons, but struggled in 2007. Early last season, Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio publicly questioned Jones’ on-field demeanor, indicating that he was taking plays off and pouting when he didn’t get the ball.

Bronco Billy Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 No wonder why he's such a crappy WR. He keeps stopping every 5 yards on routes to sniff the yard lines. Been nice knowing ya' Matt. Have a nice rest-of-your-life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 This is why fantasy football is so much fun. The NFL is extremely dynamic. Every year there is a new wave of potential talent coming in and a wave of wasted opportunity washing out. I realize that most people do not learn by the mistakes of others, but throwing away a career (or at least jeopardizing it) that could provide you with wealth and total freedom as you grow old and instead get high/stoned/whatever is just mind-boggling. But with every wasted career, someone else is happy to get a chance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought it was fun because I get the chance to publicly kick the respective arses of people who mistakenly think they are smarter than me...

H8tank Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 This is great news! I didn't think he would make the team anyway, as long as MIke Walker can make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Pat!!! Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 This is great news! I didn't think he would make the team anyway, as long as MIke Walker can make it. I agree about Walker. I think, if he's healthy, he's the best WR on that roster. That's a huge IF, and I have little proof other than watching enough Porter, Wiliamson and Northcutt to know better.
