UTEP RB Aaron Jones arrested on DWI charge in February
UTEP RB Aaron Jones was arrested on suspicion of DWI on Feb. 10.
News of his arrest broke Tuesday. UTEP coach Sean Kugler issued a statement that said the team was waiting on more information before acting.
"We are waiting for the process to fully develop and once I have all the facts, I will evaluate the situation," Kugler said. "There are consequences to poor decisions and Aaron will be held to the same standard as every other student-athlete in our program."
Jones is listed on the records of the El Paso County Jail. Details of his arrest, however, are quite limited publicly. Here's a brief synopsis from the El Paso Times:
At 1:09 a.m. Feb. 10, a deputy saw a gold Acura in front of his patrol car swerving out of its lane in the 2900 block of North Mesa Street near the Don Haskins Center, according to an El Paso County Sheriff's Office complaint affidavit.
According to the jail site, Jones' bond was set at $600. He was due to miss spring practice because of a foot injury that caused him to miss most of 2015.
Jones was hurt against Texas Tech in the Miners' second game of the year and missed the rest of the season. He was averaging 8.2 yards per carry vs. the Red Raiders when he got hurt.
Jones ran for 1,321 yards as a sophomore in 2014 and 11 touchdowns. His second season was an improvement on the 811 yards and four touchdowns he ran for as a freshman.
