A Michigan state lawmaker threatened to call Governor Gretchen Whitmer on cops who arrested him after he crashed his car while drunk, according to a police report.
Rep. Jewell Jones, 26, is accused of driving at twice the drink-drive limit with a loaded gun in his cup holder when he crashed his black Chevy into a ditch on the side of I-96 in Fowlerville, about 65 miles outside of Detroit.
He allegedly taunted state troopers who responded to the scene on April 6, telling them he ran their budget, and was pepper sprayed and tasered twice while resisting arrest, police say.
'I’m telling you if you do, it's not going to be good for you. I run y’all budget bro,' Jones told police, according to the police report.
Jones made history in 2016 by becoming the youngest-ever member of the Michigan House at the age of 21.

I remember The Jewel Tea Company. Guy came to our house regularly to sell shit to my mother.
Sounds like a future speaker of the house to me.
The 11th district is 66% white and votes 66% democrat, so...yeah.
Is he buddies with 2nd Lt Nazario?
To think this guy is in ROTC according to the article. If so, he’ll fit in perfect with CornPop’s and Austin’s new Army.
Wonder what he’ll be like when a subordinate challenges him or disobeys a direct order?
This country is so screwed.
If I offer a cop a hundred bucks to not give me a ticket it is bribery. How is holding the department's entire budget ( or a billion dollars for Ukraine ) not also a bribe?
Uh huh. No surprise.
This used to be the kind of stuff people would demand these folks resign from office over. Or have enough self pride to just resign themselves.
go into rehab, etc
It’ll be interesting to see how this works it’s way through the DAs office?
I’m guessing delay after delay until it’s forgotten about and then swept under the rug. Can’t destroy the young mans future, don’t ya know.
Gotta little red on his bottom lip and below his eyes but he’ll
be back to normal color before long I’d guess. I don’t know
but does pepper spray burn when on the skin?
This just takes us all one step closer to a totally lawless country. Good Cops are retiring, colleges are seeing grads that are going into LE, bee lining straight to gov jobs.
“We’ve tried the taser and pepper sprays and he’s still fighting us.”
“Have Smith take his socks off and hold them in his face.”
“Good grief! What’s that stench? Put me in the car!”
“Works every time.”
You’re next.
Their delivery vans made great campers.

I believe it.
He crashed his car, and is OK, so he should be counting his blessings. And we can be spared any contention that he was pulled over because of his skin color.
Shortly before 6pm on April 6, state troopers received multiple calls about a black Chevy with a vanity license plate reading ‘ELECTED’ which was speeding and driving erratically on I-96.
