New England Patriots Player Arrested for Attempting to Bring Firearms onto Plane

A shocking incident unfolded at Boston Logan International Airport this week when New England Patriots defensive back Jack Jones was apprehended for allegedly trying to smuggle two firearms onto a plane.

During routine security checks at Terminal B on Friday evening, TSA agents discovered the weapons concealed in Jones’ carry-on luggage.

Massachusetts State Police promptly arrested the 25-year-old and transported him to the State Police-Logan Airport Barracks, where he was able to post bail.

According to NBC Boston, Jones is facing multiple charges, including possession of a concealed weapon within a secure airport area, possession of ammunition without a firearm ID card, unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm, and possession of a large-capacity feeding device.

The New England Patriots released a statement acknowledging the incident and stating that they are currently investigating the matter.

“We have been made aware of Jack Jones’ arrest at Logan Airport earlier today,” the statement read. “We are actively gathering more information and will refrain from further comment at this time.”

Jones is scheduled to appear in federal court for arraignment next week.

Interestingly, social media users were quick to point out that just last month, Jones had commented on the suspension of NBA player Ja Morant for brandishing a gun in a social media video.

“@JaMorant dumb.. you letting social media and yo pride ruin yo real money,” Jones wrote on Twitter. “Put them guns down and run that money up. Make one of yo homies sign up for security or concealed carry if you feel like you need it that bad.. but you the bread winner you gotta start acting like it.”
