Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Matt Jones was arrested early Thursday morning in his former college town and charged with felony possession of cocaine, reports the Sports Network.
Jones, 25, and two other men were arrested just before 1:00 a.m. on Thursday after police said they observed Jones cutting up cocaine with a credit card in a car.
According to the police report, officers approached a white Toyota 4Runner at 12:41 a.m. on Thursday and observed Jones chopping up white powder with a credit card.
After ordering the men out of the car, officers found a bag containing six grams of white powder that tested positive as cocaine, a small plastic straw with suspected cocaine residue, a rolled up ten-dollar bill and a glass jar with suspected marijuana residue, according to the police report.
Jones was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, while Jared Hicks, 25, of Fayetteville and Benjamin Cook, 26, of Tulsa, were both charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.
Jones better hope he wasn’t using his American Express card to cut up the cocaine because it will be hard to pay his bill from jail!
