Jacksonville Jaguars’ star wide receiver, Zay Jones, found himself in legal trouble this week as he was arrested in Florida on a charge of domestic violence.
The incident reportedly occurred in the Jacksonville area around 6 PM on Monday, and Jones was subsequently booked on a domestic battery causing bodily harm charge, according to TMZ.
As of now, the 28-year-old athlete remains in custody, awaiting a court hearing scheduled for later on Tuesday.
Additional details surrounding the circumstances of his arrest have not yet been disclosed. However, the Jacksonville Jaguars issued a statement late on Monday night acknowledging the situation, stating that they are aware of Jones’ arrest and are actively gathering information.
At the start of this NFL season, Zay Jones has played in three games for the Jacksonville Jaguars, establishing himself as one of quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s preferred targets. He has accumulated eight catches for 78 yards and scored two touchdowns during his time on the field. Unfortunately, Jones has also been sidelined for six of the team’s games this year due to a knee injury.
This story is still developing, and further updates will provide more clarity on the situation surrounding Zay Jones’ arrest and its implications.
