“Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Matt Jones faces a felony drug charge in his former college town after police say he was inside a car cutting up cocaine with a credit card.
The 25-year-old Jones and two others were arrested early Thursday. A police report said officers approached the car and an officer drew his handgun after Jones did not immediately show his hands.
Police said they searched the vehicle and found a plastic bag filled with a white substance that tested positive for cocaine and a jar with possible marijuana residue.
Jared Hicks and Benjamin Cook were also arrested on misdemeanor drug charges.
Jones was released from the Washington County jail on $2,500 bond. His arraignment on a charge of felony possession of a controlled substance was set for Aug. 11, two days after Jacksonville’s preseason opener against Atlanta.
Police said 6 grams of cocaine was 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.”

If I were in competition for playing time with the newly revamped Jaguars receiving core, that is path I would take. Cutting cocaine with your credit card sitting in the car with your two buddies, and some of the residue of the marijuana I just smoked…
Wow, I was stunned when I read this article about Matt Jones. You’re already in Jack Del Rio’s shithole after the ending of last season being inactive the last few games of the season, then they bring in Troy Williamson(who has been very impressive so far) and Jerry Porter. Now they find out your a coke head on top of this? Roger Goodell is going to love to hear these new reports about the former Arkansas star quarterback turned receiver. Before you know it this guy is going to be playing ball with chris henry.
It amazes me time after time that this guy is
1)first off doing coke when hes in the nfl
2)If he is going to do it, he can afford a hotel room for a few hours. (.0001% of his salary probably)
3)Why the hell was he cutting the coke and not one of the other kids in the car
4)HOW DO THEY LET THE COPS CATCH THEM!?
My rant is over on this idiot. Don’t expect to see him back on the field anytime soon.
