Matt Jones In Trouble … Again


Former Arkansas quarterback Matt Jones was arrested Monday night for possession of a controlled substance. Jones was booked in at the Washington County jail at 6:21 p.m. after an appearance in Drug Court Monday afternoon.

According to the Washington County prosecutor’s office, Jones failed an alcohol test, which was a direct violation of terms given to him under the Washington County Drug Court program. Because of the violation, Jones was given the option of spending a week in jail or spending six weeks in a residential drug program — he opted for a week in jail, and won’t be released until 8 a.m. Sunday.

We are still learning the details of this, so we don’t have the entire story just yet. However, check back here later Monday night, when Alex Abrams will be making an update to the situation.

Jones originally found himself in trouble last July for felony possession of cocaine. The Jacksonville Jaguars receiver was arrested after Fayetteville police say they saw him using a credit card to cut up cocaine in a parked SUV behind Dickson Street. 

The Fort Smith native pleaded not guilty to the felony charge, but later avoided facing a trial by agreeing to enter Washington County Drug Court. Jones ended his most productive season in the NFL by serving a three-game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.
