It was previously reported that Jack Jones, a New England Patriots cornerback, was arrested at Boston Logan International Airport earlier this year on gun charges. However, according to NBC 10 Boston, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office has dropped the charges against Jones.
The District Attorney's Office stated that Jones agreed to one year of pre-trial probation, including 48 hours of community service, in exchange for nolle prosequi. Prosecutors explained that they "cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Jones had knowledge that he possessed the firearms in his bag at the time of the incident."
At the time of the incident, Jones was charged with two counts each of possession of a concealed weapon in a secure area of an airport, unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm, possession of a large-capacity feeding device, and possession of ammunition without a firearm identification card. His bail was set at $50,000.
In addition to the pre-trial probation, Jones agreed to do outreach and education to youth and community organizations about the dangers and proper handling of firearms. He also took steps to become a lawful gun owner in Massachusetts within 60 days of the incident.
Jones' attorney, Rosemary Scapicchio, said that her client was "grateful that the charges are dismissed and can look forward to playing football." The New England Patriots have not taken disciplinary action against Jones.
The incident at Boston Logan International Airport serves as an important reminder of the laws and regulations associated with firearms and air travel. Mike Epps is currently under investigation and may face charges for having a loaded gun at Indianapolis International Airport.
