In a video outside the jail captured by WKRC-TV, Jones called the charges "bullsh*t".
In the video, Jones said he spoke to a flight attendant about dysfunctional charging plugs at the two seats he bought for the flight. He said he asked to move seats, and that's when he was told they would have to turn the plane around.
"Let's report the facts," he said in the video. "You say I'm drunk? I'm not (expletive) drunk."
"I'm going to stand for what I stand for which is respect, honesty, and I'm walking my walk," he said. "If I'm wrong I'm going to tell you I'm wrong."
