The calm after spring practices did not last long in Foxboro. New England Patriots cornerback, Jack Jones, was arrested at Boston’s Logan International Airport on Friday. Jones allegedly tried to go through a security checkpoint at Logan Airport with two guns.
The Arrest
Jones, a 25-year-old promising talent in the Patriots’ secondary, was apprehended with two loaded Glock 9mm firearms in his carry-on luggage. Following the arrest, he was subjected to nine weapon charges, to which he has since pled not guilty.
His attorney presented a defense, stating, “The facts of this case are that they found two guns in a carry-on bag that they said was his. He had no intention of bringing any guns into Logan Airport that day…”
