Jones was was pulled over after a sheriff’s deputy witnessed Jones swerving from lane to lane.

“We are waiting for the process to fully develop and once I have all the facts, I will evaluate the situation,” head coach Sean Kugler said. “There are consequences to poor decisions and Aaron (Jones) will be held to the same standard as every other student-athlete in our program.”

Jones bond has been set at $600.
