Packers running back Aaron Jones faces marijuana-related charge

GREEN BAY - Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones was arrested in early October and faces several charges after a traffic stop in which he admitted to smoking marijuana.

Jones, 22, has pleaded not guilty to counts of speeding, driving without a valid license and operating a vehicle with a controlled substance in his system, according to Wisconsin court records. The district attorney’s office for Brown County filed charges on Oct. 2, several days before Jones made his first start against the Dallas Cowboys.

The arrest and subsequent charges previously had been unreported. The Packers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Jones was pulled over for speeding on Highway 172 in Ashwaubenon at 11:37 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 1, according to an incident report obtained by the Journal Sentinel. State trooper Dillon Larson clocked Jones’ vehicle traveling 79 miles per hour in a 55 mile-per-hour zone.

The report states Larson smelled marijuana emanating from the vehicle and observed Jones’ eyes to be red and bloodshot. Jones told Larson he had woken up three hours earlier and smoked marijuana after eating breakfast. A search of the vehicle did not produce any narcotics or paraphernalia.


A second trooper arrived on the scene, and Jones was asked to participate in a standardized field sobriety test along the side of the highway. The report states Jones was assessed one “clue” for using his arms to balance during a walking test but had no issue standing on one leg or tracking an object with his eyes.

Jones was taken to St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay for a blood test. He was released from custody at 1:33 p.m. after Donatello Brown, a cornerback for the Packers, signed the responsibility agreement to care for an individual who has been operating a vehicle under the influence.


A final pre-trial hearing is scheduled for Feb. 1, 2018, at the Brown County Courthouse. Jones' attorney, Brian Maloney, also represented wide receiver Geronimo Allison in the aftermath of a possession of marijuana charge last year.

The National Football League does not take action on substance-abuse charges until after the court case is resolved, meaning Jones is likely to finish the 2017 season without punishment. If Jones is ultimately convicted, he could face additional discipline for 2018 under the league’s substance-abuse policy.

This is not his first run-in with the law. Jones was arrested Feb. 10, 2016, on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, according to a report in the El Paso Times. A deputy observed Jones’ car swerving out of its lane shortly after 1 a.m., and the Intoxilyzer test registered breath alcohol concentration levels of 0.15 and 0.139. The legal limit in Texas is 0.08.

Jones, who played college football at the University of Texas at El Paso, eventually entered a pretrial diversion program that functions like probation but ends with the charge being dropped.

“By entering the program,” the article states, “Jones agrees to follow several probation-like conditions that include reporting to a probation officer, taking alcohol and drug tests, and attending several DWI-related classes and a Mothers Against Drunk Driving victim impact panel.

“Unlike probation, if Jones successfully completes the program the driving while intoxicated charge will be dismissed.”

Jones was punished internally by UTEP coach Sean Kugler and did not miss any games in 2016, his final collegiate season.

“Aaron's situation was handled internally as is the case with every player,” Kugler said at the time. “He has been punished harshly, and I consider this matter to be put behind him, he will not be suspended further.”

49ers waive Datone Jones

Defensive lineman Datone Jones‘ stay with the 49ers lasted less than a month.

The 49ers announced on Tuesday that they have waived Jones. They’re the third team to part ways with Jones this year as the Vikings dropped him in September after signing him as a free agent in March and the Lions did the same in October after Jones spent a week on the roster.

The 2013 first-round pick of the Packers played in three games for the 49ers and recorded six tackles. He’ll move on in hopes of finding a lasting home, although this year’s experience suggests that might not be a sure thing.

Jones’ departure comes a day after the 49ers claimed Sheldon Day off of waivers. They’re also on track to get Tank Carradine back from injured reserve as another piece on the defensive line.

The team overall. Each year is different. Last year injuries took out the team, just like the previous seasons along with a hot team. We be alright.

I mean our next 2 games are winnable even without Rodgers. The Browns are 0-11 :dead:. I don't care how down you are on Capers/McCarthy/Hundley, those 2 games are both winnable.

And then if Rodgers comes back after that vs we just need to go 3-0. And I'll take a 6th seed with a healthy ARod over any draft pick. We stand a chance against any team in the league if Rodgers is playing.

Now if we lose to TB or CLE... then I'll agree, by all means just tank the remainder of the season. I'm not throwing in the towel yet though.

Problem is you need the falcons to tank. They're in their stride right now.

Nah Falcons can get the 5 seed and we can get the 6th. It's Seattle and Carolina that are vulnerable.

If we go 5-0, we need the Panthers to go 2-3 (one of those losses would be to us) and the Seahawks to go 3-2. Look at their schedules. Panthers next 2 games are @NO and vs MIN. They will be underdogs in both games. If we take care of business in the next two weeks we could very well be one game behind them going into their stadium in week 15 with ARod back.

Seattle's schedule is harder than ours as well. They play vs LA, vs PHI and at DAL (with Zeke back).

The schedule favors GB pretty heavily. We have a path. Just gotta execute.
