Jones, however, allegedly did not cooperate when an offer from Indiana State Police attempted to arrest him for allegedly erratic driving, according to WTHR. Jones allegedly did not stop, leading to a short pursuit.
The young guard was allegedly driving 90 mph on I-65, which has a speed limit of 55 mph. When Jones finally stopped, he allegedly told the officer he didn’t know he was speeding, while also mentioning he was late to Pacers practice.
