Jack Jones, New England Patriots player, was arrested at the Logan Airport on Friday. He was allegedly trying to bring two guns onto a flight.
The 25-year-old now faces several charges including carrying a loaded firearm, unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, and possession of a large-capacity feeding device.
In a statement, the Patriots said: “We have been notified that Jack Jones was arrested at Logan Airport earlier today. We are in the process of gathering more information and will not be commenting further at this time.”
Meanwhile, Twitter users shared screenshots of a Jones’ tweet criticizing Ja Morant. The Memphis Grizzlies guard has been suspended for 25 games after he flashed a gun, for the second time this year, in an Instagram Live.

“@JaMorant dumb … you letting social media and yo pride ruin yo real money,” Jones tweeted. “Put them guns down and run that money up. Make one of yo homie sign up for security or concealed carry if you need it that bad.. but you the bread winner you gotta start acting like it,” Jones had tweeted in May.
Several Twitter users reacted.
“Jack Jones responding to the Ja Morant situation a month ago. You really can’t make this sh** up sometimes,” one person tweeted.
“Jack Jones calling Ja Morant dumb last month. Jones could’ve run his money up too, the guys talented AF. Doubt he’ll be a Patriot much longer smh,” another one added.
