Jon Jones was arrested in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Thursday morning and was hit with three charges. The main charges had to do with driving while intoxicated, as well as negligent use of a deadly weapon. Jones was found in his jeep while a firearm and half-empty bottle of tequila were next to him. Police were prompted to approach his vehicle after a report that he had allegedly shot off a round.

According to TMZ, the video of the arrest has been made public thanks to body-cam footage taken by one of the officers. In the video below, Jones appears to be slurring his words as he explains that he needed to get out of the house because the pandemic is making him go stir-crazy.

“I literally just got stir-crazy,” Jones said. “I just wanted to have a drive. This is my first drive in 2 weeks. And, I saw these homeless guys. I was being nice to them, having a conversation with them, treating them like humans.”

After being arrested, Jones began to cry as he was escorted into the police vehicle. It was then that he admitted he was scared for his family and even said he wanted to be a police officer growing up.

According to TMZ, Jones faced yet another issue as he was arrested in the early hours of Thursday morning in New Mexico. He was hit with charges of Driving While Intoxicated, Possession of an Open Container, and Negligent Use of a Deadly Weapon.

This all started when police responded to a report that someone had fired off a weapon at 1 AM in Albuquerque. Once cops got onto the scene, they found Jones sitting in his new Jeep where he appeared to be heavily intoxicated and even smelled of alcohol. After doing a search of the car, they found a handgun and a bottle of tequila that appeared to be half-empty.

Kodak Black was arrested with three other people near the U.S.-Canada border in 2019. Authorities discovered four handguns in the vehicle as well as a personal use amount of cannabis and loaded magazine cartridges. The Buffalo Field Office of U.S. Customs and Border Protection called the arrest their top seizure of 2019. 

Kodak Black is currently behind bars in connection to the 2019 Rolling Loud Miami arrest. The rapper pleaded guilty to falsifying documents to obtain a firearm in last August. The rapper is reportedly expected to be released from prison around 2022 for that charge. That’s subject to change in wake of his recent guilty plea.

Although he’s locked up, the rapper does have new music in the stash. On Valentine’s Day, the rapper unleashed “Because Of You” and later revealed that if fans helped it go platinum before his birthday, he’ll release his new album.

42 Dugg only began to get his foot in the rap game but unfortunately, he’s facing some legal problems that could become a major setback in his career. According to The Detroit News, Dugg was arrested in Detroit and is being held without bond temporarily after he was arrested on a gun charge. Federal prosecutors are holding him in their custody as they attempt to have him transferred to Atlanta to face his gun charges.

The rapper’s case goes back to November 2019 after the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosive agents received an anonymous tip that he and two other people were at Stoddard’s Range and Guns in Atlanta firing guns. Due to his previous carjacking and felony gun possession convictions from a decade ago, the rapper isn’t allowed to be in possession of a gun. Unfortunately, investigators claim they have video footage of the rapper and his friends firing guns at the range.

42 Dugg was set to perform this weekend for “March Badness” at Little Ceasars arena where he was supposed to perform alongside Kash Doll, DaBaby, and Yo Gotti, who alongside Lil Baby, penned Dugg to a joint deal. 

The rapper made an appearance in court on Monday where he said very little. 

“Are you asking the court to appoint an attorney for you?”U.S. Magistrate Judge David Grand asked.

“Yes, sir,” Hayes said.
