According to the documents, Officer Jason Brown noted a bottle of Recuerdo tequila along with a "green, leafy substance on (Jones) shirt and pants, consistent with marijuana." Brown added that he approached the driver's side window and requested registration and proof of insurance from Jones.

At this moment, Brown says Jones "fumbled with his documents" and that he "had an odor of alcohol coming from his facial area."

Jones was placed under arrest for DWI after he failed multiple field sobriety tests. Upon taking inventory of the vehicle Jones was sitting in, Brown found a loaded handgun and another used round outside the driver's side door.

For now, Jones has been released with a bond arraignment hearing scheduled for April 8.
