Jones, who now works on the football staff at his alma mater, was player coordinator for the Bulldogs and previously set school records for sacks and tackles for loss during his time as a player. He was arrested late Friday and released on bond soon after. Georgia coach Kirby Smart confirmed that Jones would face internal discipline. This incident comes after a high-speed crash that killed an offensive lineman and a recruiting staffer on January 15th, which has resulted in numerous Georgia players being ticketed for similar offenses.
