New England Patriots cornerback Jack Jones was arrested Friday after he allegedly attempted to bring two firearms onto a plane at Boston’s Logan Airport, multiple outlets reported.
Massachusetts state police were called to an airport security checkpoint where multiple firearms were found inside the baggage of a passenger, which police said was Jones, according to Boston’s Fox 25.
WHDH reported that Jones had two loaded handguns in his baggage.
His carry-on also reportedly contained extra ammunition.
Jones is now facing multiple charges for the incident that include unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm, possession of a large-capacity feeding device and possession of ammunition without a firearm identification card, police said, according to multiple outlets.
Bail for the alleged crime was reportedly set at $50,000, and the 25-year-old Jones will be arraigned in East Boston District Court next week.
The Patriots issued a statement about the arrest and said they were aware of the situation.
“We have been notified that Jack Jones was arrested at Logan Airport earlier today,” the team said. “We are in the process of gathering more information and will not be commenting further at this time.”
Jones was taken in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, playing 13 games during his rookie season.
He recorded two interceptions — including one for a touchdown — and 30 total tackles during his first year as a professional.
