A Michigan state lawmaker who has faced months of legal woes is now facing two additional charges after authorities say he snuck a handcuff key into a county jail.
Rep. Jewell Jones, 26, a Democrat from Inkster, was caught literally with his pants down during an alleged drunk driving spree on April 6th. That fiasco was said by authorities to have involved an unknown woman and a vehicle which ended up off the road. During that incident, a belligerent Jones was caught on video arguing with state troopers and at times hurling racial slurs toward them when the authorities showed up to deal with the situation. The state police used a taser and pepper spray to bring Jones under control; Jones is alleged to have threatened to call Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) and other high-profile state officials to force the state police to stand down or otherwise cut him a break.
According to the Howell, Mich. Livingston County Daily Press & Argus, Jones subsequently posted bond but reportedly did not stay out of trouble for very long. Jones pleaded guilty to a bond violation in June, the newspaper reported, after he departed for military training without telling the court or his attorney.
After that slip-up, Livingston County District Court Judge Daniel Bain reportedly forced Jones to wear an ankle monitor to measure whether he was consuming alcohol. But Jones failed to pay for the device and was subsequently ordered to pay a $1,000 fine, the newspaper said.

The next governor of Michigan
Something is missing.
I’m shocked!
I never served in the military but I did take a few steps towards it after college, and as I recall, even early in the process, long before being close to any actual commitment, they still turn your life inside out looking to weed out unsuitable people. How on earth did this guy “depart for military training” while facing charges? How could the military have overlooked or somehow not found out that he was facing charges and out of jail on bond?
You can take the native out of the jungle, but you can’t take the jungle out of the native. DemoRAT P.O.S.
first, I hope his military career is over. And second, whoever taught him his tricks they forgot to tell him that the guards check feet, too.
Do they handcuff you once you’re in jail? Aren’t you still in a cell if you get the cuffs off?
Sounds like this thug meets the qualifications to be re-elected as a democrat lawmaker.

Nope!
Inkster got its’ name because that’s where Henry Ford housed all the “ink spots” he imported to Detroit as cheap labor.
The military is not the same since Obama.
He is young to have what appear to be ‘Alcoholic Eyes’.
Dark rings underneath the eyes. Maybe it was just Hay Fever.
The best and brightest to represent his constituents.
These are your officials! Obey and comply.
Hates Whitey and the "White Supremacist system" that's keepin' the Brutha down.
Front runner for RAT nomination in 2024.
Or the result of being pepper-sprayed during his arrest, as per the article.
