A New England Patriots player was arrested Friday after police alleged he attempted to bring two guns onto a flight out of Boston Logan International Airport.
Police took Jack Jones into custody after the weapons were allegedly found in his carry-on luggage. Nobody is feeling sorry for him this week because he was the same guy who had something to say about Ja Morant’s situation.
The 25-year-old took to Twitter last month criticizing NBA star Ja Morant for being caught on camera with a gun for the second time in months.
“[Ja Morant] dumb.. you letting social media and yo pride ruin yo real money,” Jones’ tweet read. “Put them guns down and run that money up. Make one of yo homies sign up for security or concealed carry if you feel like you need it that bad.. but you the breadwinner you gotta start acting like it..”
The 25-year-old cornerback is facing charges that include possession of a concealed weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm, and possession of ammunition without a firearm identification card, police said.
Police said the bail for Jones was set at $50,000. His arraignment is scheduled for next week at East Boston District Court.

“We have been notified that Jack Jones was arrested at Logan Airport earlier today,” a Patriots spokesman said in a statement, via the Boston Globe. “We are in the process of gathering more information and will not be commenting further at this time.”
Jones has been a player with the Patriots since 2022, when he was drafted by the team. He had 30 total tackles, two interceptions, and a touchdown in 13 games as a rookie last season.
It’s unclear what discipline Jones will face from the Patriots.
