There’s more to the Matt Jones-drug arrest that occured early Thursday morning. Apparently the genius was found cutting cocaine with Foot Locker credit card.
Jones, 25, as well as two other men, were inside a Toyota 4Runner in Fayetteville just after 12:40 a.m. Thursday when officers approached. In a report, officers allege they saw a card covered in a white powder in Jones’ lap as he used a Foot Locker credit card to scrape it.
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, as well as Jared Hicks, 25, and Benjamin Cook, 26, were arrested. Hicks is also a former Razorback.Officers say they searched the sport-utility vehicle and found a plastic bag filled with a white substance that tested positive for cocaine and a jar with possible marijuana residue inside.
Officers questioned Jones, who acknowledged the white powder was cocaine, the police report said.Police said 6 grams of cocaine were found. The threshold for potential charges of possession with intent to deliver is 1 gram. However, prosecutor John Threet said there is no evidence that Jones intended to deal the drug.
Let’s look at the bright side here. Police said that Jones didn’t drop any of the coke on the ground when they arrested him. That’s more than the Jags can say when Jones is on the field, trying to catch the football.
