Reported: Jacoby Jones Arrested

[Koolaid Time]

Real easy to verify.. Call the Harris County Jail, see if they have a Jacoby Jones, date of birth July 11, 1984, in custody.

One of the attorneys on here could get on the Internet to the Harris County JIMS system and see if its true.

I did some googling and found out. What a bizarre story and sad ending. I was just out of high school and headed to college, wasn't really paying attention to the new in them days.

Not to give this anymore "legs" then (at this time at least) it deserves but, to clarify the orginal post read 6+ hours ago: "Jacoby Jones Arrested?". Arlington Texan rightfully changed it to the present header.

Not trying to start trouble but there were about 50 different sides that came up with a similar story on the Alm deal..cops swearing it was true, etc.. and I have a hard time believing some part is not true. JMO. Just too much of whio said what still out there. As far as Jacoby...just wait until things come out.

[Koolaid Time]

Well, he was arrested for something last night...

Let's not make this thread about Jeff Alm. I assure you, it's not true. Back to JJ. If it's true, I hope he fixes his problems fast. This stuff won't fly in Houston, and he knows it.

Well, crap. This sucks. It's his name, it's Harris County, and it's his birthday.

I HATE it when Texans players get in trouble with the law, because it takes the sting out of my constant attacks on the Dallas Cowboy fans in my family. I love to remind them about all the crack, arrests, drug dealing, and how PacMan Jones will be joining the team soon. (Not that he definitely will, but I love telling them how he's a perfect fit)... so it gives me little ground to stand on when our guys screw up.

One thing to note.... there is an arrest, but no details on a charge.

If he got down there and didn't blow a .08, they might not have charged him with a DWI.

Let's hope that's the case.

Funny that this comes up. I had a buddy in from Colorado Springs last week that told me about this. I told him that I heard this story is an urban legend. Not to mention that it gets mentioned every now and then on the sports talk stations.

I was living in the Dallas area back then and had no idea of what the rumor around Houston was. Seems like there's a couple of versions of it going around.

One rumor is that the other guy was closer than a friend. The other rumor is that he was performing a friendly service at the time of the accident and injured Jeff.

Which one is it?

Back to the topic...DWI's happen every night. It's no surprise that one of them happens to be a local celebrity every now and then.

I don't really think it's very professional of the cops to be going through the guy's cellphone after they arrest him.

Sorry I wasn't trying to but being as one of the attorneys here I'm sure others have hung out with their brethren and heard stuff like "I know a cop that swears by it." At least the DA guys I know have...

As far as JJ. It happens. We all make mistakes. Bad mistake but nothing you can't get through and learn from. I hope it helps him grow up.

HOUSTON -- Houston Texans wide receiver Jacoby Jones was arrested overnight and charged with driving while intoxicated, police said Sunday.

Police said they stopped Jones at about 2 a.m. Sunday. He posted a $500 bond and was released, officials said.

The Texans said they're still gathering information about the arrest, and they said they're not yet ready to comment.

[YellerLotYeller]

He's only 23 and mistakes will happen. This could actually have a positive effect on his life and maturing process as a man. If not....................we could always trade him to the cowgirls.

[disaacks3]

I guess it's OK to remove the RUMOR and the "?" now.

C'mon JJ, let's start focusing on NEXT year...we need another KR/PR in the Pro-Bowl!

Pretty sure we already have one anyways...

Take a bunch of money and throw it at a young person who never had that kind of money before, and it's a recipe for disaster.

Not that a 3rd round draft choice is loaded with money, but still NFL pay is quite a bit higher than cooking burgers at McDonalds or starting pay in almost any field.

I know nothing about JJ personally, having read nothing about his personal life, but I hope he makes it through this. He has a fantastic future with the Texans and I hope he pulls through this. I also hope we, as fans, keep some perspective on this.

Well said Thorn.

It still sucks though, I hope he learns his lesson here and turns into a positive.

Maybe instead of arguing about non-football issues you should switch to football issues. The Cowboys have had a pretty clean ship of late. Other teams have had far more transgressions the past decade. Now, if they sign PacMan they are making a deal with the devil and they deserve any smack they get, but its been pretty quiet there lately especially when compared to other teams, our own included.

If you want to run smack at Cowboy fan in your family, you can still get results and stick to football. romo choking, romo fumbling a freaking hold to lose a playoff game, roy williams not being able to cover his own shadow, drafting bobby carpenter in the first round, jones putting NFC championship tickets at players lockers and coming onto the field and constantly being a distraction, driving Parcells out of town for Wade Phillips, and of course the nuclear option 19-10.
