The Patriots’ Jack Jones could face more than 30 years in prison if convicted consecutively

New England Patriots cornerback Jack Jones faces a lengthy prison sentence if the judge in his case opts to have him consecutively serve time in the event of a guilty verdict.

This comes just days after Jones was arrested at Boston’s Logan Airport after two firearms were found in his carry-on.

Talking to the Boston spherea spokesman for the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office said, “If [Jones] for each charge were convicted consecutively, he would face more than 30 years in prison.”

The Globe says Jones faces “two counts each of possession of a concealed weapon in a secure area of ​​an airport, possession of ammunition without a firearm identification card, unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm and possession of a large power supply capacity.’

Jones is expected to be arraigned in East Boston Municipal Court on Tuesday.

That could all happen if Jones is found guilty of gun charges after multiple firearms were found in his carry-on bag at Boston’s Logan Airport on a flight to Los Angeles Friday

The Globe notes that it is rare for a judge to sentence someone to charges consecutively and that it is much more common for that time to be served simultaneously.

Born in Long Beach, California, Jones was “ticketed for travel to Los Angeles International Airport,” according to the TSA.

A Massachusetts State Trooper was called to a security checkpoint at Logan’s Terminal B at around 5:30 p.m. local time on Friday.

The weapons were discovered “during routine X-ray screening,” the TSA said in a statement.

Jones was booked into the barracks at the airport and bail was set at $50,000, the Globe said.

Some experts who spoke to the Globe said the case is unlikely to get a full trial unless there are extraordinary reasons to prove Jones innocent.

Daniel Medwed, a professor of law at Northeastern University, told the Globe: “Unless there are some unusual circumstances that the defendant could claim, like if someone else packed their bag, I think most defense attorneys would trying to pursue a plea to resolve this matter quickly. , and for a sentence that is far below the maximum sentence.’

Jones has previously had trouble with the law while attending college in his native California

Jones was drafted by the Patriots in the 2022 draft from Arizona State through USC and JuCo

This isn’t Jones’s first run-in with the law.

In 2018, in his native Los Angeles, he was arrested in a Santa Paula Panda Express on suspicion of commercial burglary and conspiracy to commit a crime, weeks after being cut from the USC football team roster.

Jones played one season at a junior college before transferring to Arizona State – where he played a total of 24 games in the 2019 and 2021 seasons.

But Jones was also suspended indefinitely after the 2020 season opener for a “conduct-related issue,” the Globe reports.

After being drafted by the Patriots last season, Jones said he “learned from” his mistakes and “looks forward to moving forward.”
