On Tuesday, Jack Jones, a defensive back for the New England Patriots, pleaded not guilty to nine gun charges. Jones was arrested in August and charged with possession of a firearm without a license, possession of ammunition without a license, and seven counts of carrying a loaded firearm.
The charges stem from an incident in which Jones was pulled over by police in Foxborough, Massachusetts. During the stop, police found a loaded handgun in Jones’ car. Jones was arrested and taken into custody.
The Patriots released a statement following Jones’ arrest, saying that they are aware of the situation and take it very seriously. The team also said that they are monitoring the situation closely and will take appropriate action when more information is available.
Jones’ attorney, Mark Berthiaume, said that his client is innocent and that the charges are baseless. He also said that Jones is a law-abiding citizen who was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Jones’ case is still pending and he is due back in court in October. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison for each charge.
The incident has caused a stir among Patriots fans, who are concerned about the team’s future. Many are hoping that Jones is found not guilty and that the team can move on from this incident.
No matter the outcome of this case, it is clear that gun laws are taken seriously in Massachusetts. It is important for everyone to understand the laws and regulations surrounding gun ownership and use in order to stay safe and avoid any legal trouble.
