Green Bay Packers rookie running back Aaron Jones faces charges for allegedly speeding and operating with a restricted controlled substance in Green Bay in early October, according to court records.
Jones, 22, pleaded not guilty to three charges: operating with a restricted controlled substance, speeding in a 55 mph zone and operating without a valid license. Dashcam video released by the Wisconsin State Patrol shows that Jones admitted marijuana use to the trooper who pulled him over.
The arrest took place Oct. 1, a week before his first start in Dallas, and was previously unreported
Head Coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Monday he was aware of his arrest.
“I’m aware,” of Aaron Jones’ arrest after a traffic stop Oct. 1, McCarthy says. “He made a mistake and I know it’s a pending legal situation, but yes I am aware of it.” #Packers
