((HT: KFSM-TV))Former Arkansas Razorback and current Jacksonville Jaguar wide receiver Matt Jones (([pictured, thanks KATV)) was back in Washington County Drug Court Monday afternoon with some bad news for the judge.
Jones told the Judge Mary Ann Gunn he had been drinking and playing golf on Thursday.
Jones is not supposed to drink while participating in the Drug Court Program. Jones told the Judge Gunn it was a bad decision. Judge Gunn told Jones she thought he was a good person and because of that he had to choose between a week in jail or entering a six weeks residential drug program.
She said he will also be set back in the program. After a short recess, Judge Gunn decided Jones will go to Washington County Jail until 8am Sunday morning. Gunn cut the jail sentence short so Jones could make Jaguar football practice.
