New England Patriots cornerback Jack Jones was arrested Friday evening at Boston International Logan Airport.
Massachusetts State Police said troopers were called to a security checkpoint after two firearms were found in Jones' carry-on luggage. The 25-year-old is facing a number of charges, including possession of a concealed weapon in a secure area of an 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, a fourth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, posted bail at $50,000 and will be arraigned next week in East Boston District Court.
The Patriots released the following statement on the matter:
