The 25-year-old, as per the Boston Globe report, was charged with two counts of five offences. The offences are: possession of a concealed weapon in a secure area of the airport, possession of ammunition without a firearm identification card, unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm and possession of a large-capacity feeding device.

Jones, an Arizona State alumni, was picked by New England in the fourth round of 2022 NFL Draft. His maiden season also ended in a suspension by the Patriots in December last year. The CB was reprimanded for violating club rules. As per NBC Sports Boston, Jones had missed his rehab session and had talked back to head coach Bill Belichick about the same.

Belichick, in March, however, had said that the CB's suspension is a thing of the past and that he was training with the first team in spring practices on occasions.
